NOS Western Electric 300B, Black Plate, 1954, Matched Pair
Made just after the era of Engraved Base 300B, these NOS 1954 Western Electric 300B have black plates, "D" getters and the old style, rectangular mica spacers. They test very strong and are within 3% of each other. The getter flashings on both of these tubes are large, feathered with no burn marks which means these are true NOS tubes. Additionally, there are no burn marks on the tops of the tubes - they are crystal clear. These Western Electric 300B have tight bases, no rattles and are guaranteed to please. We listened to this pair on our Elekit TU-8600R and they sound amazing. The bass is deep and tight, while the mids and highs are ethereal. Due to deterioration of the original boxes, these tubes will come in faithful reproduction Western Electric boxes using the same type of cardboard and printing methods originally used by Western Electric long ago.
PLEASE NOTE: Price is for the pair of tubes. Payment by bank wire only. Please do not check out and pay by credit card or PayPal. Contact us for wire instructions. Also, we cannot apply discounts to this product.
Below is the pair together with their reproduction boxes. Please note the matching date codes on the bases (452 = 4th Quarter of 1954).
This is the front of the actual tubes you will receive.

Here is what the "D" getter looks like in both tubes.
