Sell Your Tubes

Looking to sell vacuum tubes?

We purchase everything from a few desirable tubes to large inherited collections, repair-shop inventories and complete estates.

You do not need to sort or test everything first.

Many sellers contact us after inheriting boxes or shelves of unfamiliar tubes. Start with a general description, approximate quantity and your location. We will explain what to photograph and the most practical next step.

What we purchase

Receiving and audio tubes
Transmitting tubes
Western Electric and early tubes
NOS and used inventory
Tube testers and adapters
Radio and amplifier parts
Ham-radio equipment
Manuals and accessories

Who contacts us

Families handling an estate, collectors downsizing, former repair technicians, radio and audio enthusiasts, musicians, ham operators and businesses clearing older inventory.

How an offer is determined

Value depends on tube type, manufacturer, construction, condition, quantity, testing status and current demand. For large mixed collections, the cost and time required to transport, sort, clean, test, photograph, list, store and support each item must also be considered.

Local pickup and shipped collections

We are based in Hudson, Massachusetts and can discuss pickup for qualifying collections in New England. Smaller or higher-value groups can often be shipped safely after we review photos and provide packing guidance.
