How many 8950's do you need? I have a friend that has an old Maco two piece mobile tube amp. He blew it up in the 70's and bought 3 new 8950 final tubes for it only to find out the switching transistors in the DC to DC converter box shorted and it wasn't the tubes.
I have a Precision tube tester and can confirm if the tubes are still mint. They should have never even seen plate voltage because of the failed B+ supply. If you make a decent offer I'm fairly certain I can get them for you and test them.
Please advise me to what is a good replacement mic for my SR-497HPC... Answer: 497 is "wired like Cobra", so many choices available. That radio does not need a power mic, so purchase a stock "coffin style" mic with a decent cord, like the ones that Astatic uses. The Superstar DM-507 is my go-to. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3050474478...adANq91JSiEEnz8EGqPJRBloTgEyaVsBoCtoMQAvD_BwE $12.99 + .99 cent shipping.
