Description:
Youare bidding on a pair of vintage Western Electric 216D vacuum tubes. They are in good condition and test good and nearly equal with no shorts or leakage. No blue glow viable between the elements when tested. They test at 1150 micromhos out of the minimum 800 on an RD Instruments (Hickok/Western Electric) model 1575 tube tester, using test settings for the 101D with the filament set to 5 volts (tube tester does not have test settings for 216A). ...;
I had to scrape a little of the wax off of the base as the wax had distorted enough that it would not fit into the tube socket in the tube tester. I expect that a heat gun could be used to smooth out the scrape marks from the wax.
