looks like two 6lb6's in the driver stage and five 8950's in the final stage.

The 8950's are worth more than the amplifier is.

Maybe paypal will help with the poor shipping. Ron

I used to own that exact model I haven't heard or seen one since mine in the 1980"s. Never had any tubes go bad only the transformer and I replaced it right away. When mine was tuned and on high it really did dim the lights and just about anything that had a speaker or could reverberate you could hear me on and a letter from the FCC let me know just how far away I could be heard over a T.V. telephone, and home and car radio's.

Have any extra tubes sounds like fun! LOL Thanks Ron

Unfortunately a full set of replacement tubes will far exceed the replacement cost of the entire amplifier. If it was insured, claim the full value and let the post office buy the paperweight they created.

Not insured. He lied! Ron

Any amp or heavy Radio should be double boxed with 2-3 inches of good packing between the boxes and the tubes removed and shipped separately. I have no love for people who are clueless about shipping radio equipment. Take good pictures and file a PayPal claim.

I'm not absolutely certain, but...

Insurance is no longer an option to purchase on eBay. I think it's the seller's responsibility to ensure safe delivery of your item. Isn't the seller responsible for including insurance within the S&H charges?

Anyways, was this an eBay purchase? If so, then you might have a claim.

Can paypal do something? Thanks Ron
