I will never sell a tube that is below standard…… I have sold many tubes here on Ebay, and all my customers have been completely satisfied. I will work with you in good faith if there are any problems, or if you are unsatisfied in any way. I want your business now and in the future, so I assume you are the boss, and I am the employee. All tubes are tested for shorts, continuity, and emissions. I prefer PayPal. ALL CUSTOMERS PLEASE READ ALL NOTES BEFORE BUYING FROM ME !! 1.  RETURNS: It is my highest desire that you are completely satisfied with your purchase from me. I will bend over backwards to make sure that you are a happy customer. If anything you buy from me is less than satisfactory, message me BEFORE you either open a case or hit the “item not as described” button. Sound quality is tremendously SUBJECTIVE. For tubes returned for noise or sound quality of any kind you pay for the shipping we refund the purchase. We refund the price of the item NOT THE SHIPPING COST. If we sent the wrong tube we will of course pay for return shipping. For any tubes that are DOA we require that you send a us a picture of the shipping box to show us the damage. We test EVERY tube sent out and none should be DOA unless broken in shipping. 2.    PLEASE NOTE:  Tube silkscreen (lettering on the tubes) is VERY fragile. It can be wiped off and destroyed VERY easily. If you wipe off the silkscreen while handling the tube you diminish their value by up to 70%. DO NOT handle the tubes or hold them from the cylinder. ALWAYS hold them from the ENDS. If you are returning tubes and they are not in the same condition cosmetically I cannot give you a full refund. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. 3.  UNLESS YOU MAKE ARRANGEMENTS WITH US BEFORE YOU PURCHASE, YOU MUST PAY FOR ITEMS PURCHASED WITHIN 2 DAYS OR A CASE WILL BE OPENED FOR AN UNPAID ITEM!!! 4. TESTING: I test all tubes that I sell in one way or another, or I will state untested. I have a B&K 747 tube tester. This is a mutual conductance tester. It give a percentage value of gm for the tube under test and checks for shorts and grid emissions. I also use a Tektronix curve tracer for testing triodes. I give a number of evaluations for tubes. One evaluation is a screen shot of the tube with a high voltage applied to the plate. This helps the buyer see the linearity of the tube in question at the highest voltage the tube will see in a real circuit. The Curve tracer steps the triode through 10 gate/grid voltages starting with -10 volts and going to 0 volts. The lines show how the tube conducts throughout that range. At 0 volt the tube is at max conduction and is the top line on the display. It is easy at that point to take where that top line intersects the plate voltage, find the milliamp level and compare it to the datasheet. I give those numbers for you in the Item condition box. To further help the buyer I also include the Design values, for gm and ma readings in the table. This can then be compared to other tube sellers using inferior test methods such as Hickok,  Amplitrex, and other testers. The Tektronix curve tracer gives values within 3% of the actual value. The very best portable testers only can approach 10% accuracy.5.    Please note: The numbers given for gm are what I see on my tester. I DO NOT guarantee that you will see those numbers on your tester. I only guarantee that these tubes will test good, with no shorts, or gas, on a decent calibrated tester. I dont guarantee or imply anything else. 6. VERY IMPORTANT!!! Vintage tube testers almost always, due to age, have VERY LOW HEATER VOLTAGES!!!  Every tester I have ever bought is below 6 volts when selecting 6.3 volts. They average 5.8 volts. The voltage NEEDS to be 6.3 and 12.6. You can calibrate a vintage tube tester all you want. If the heater voltage is not right, you will NEVER get the right gm value. I have customers complain that their tubes are not the same as what I see on my tester. They say they have a calibrated tube tester. I have 40 tube testers. On all of them I have an outside regulated DC power supply that feeds the tube tester the correct heater voltage. 7. I dont check each and every tube for noise or tone. This is SUBJECTIVE and it is too time consuming. If you dont like the noise level or the tone we offer a hassle free refund policy.  International customers note: 1. Please wait for us to invoice you for the correct amount. If you have purchased more than one item, we must calculate how much the shipping will be. Shipping will be HIGHER due to insurance and shipping methods needed for expensive item totals. If you are buying only one item this will not be an issue. 2. Under no circumstances will we state on a US customs a declared value of less than the sale price. This is an honesty issue. We are honest with everyone to the best of our ability to do so.

The LR-5000 is a super rare unit. Its considered one of the best quads out there because it had decoders built in for pretty much all of the formats. Especially the coveted SQ-W, which usually required an external decoder. It is built into the LR-5000. This was the follow up to the LR-4000, which did not have SQ-W built in and required the external component - https://www.hifiengine.com/manual_library/lafayette/sq-w.shtml. The 5000 was the way to go in the mid-to-late 70s if you were looking to experience true quadrophonic sound. But dont worry, its also a pretty great 2-channel receiver as well. This one is in great condition. Sounds great and is cosmetically excellent. This sale includes the original user manual which is essential in how to correctly use all the features. Thanks for looking! Heres some more info on this unit: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/lafayette-lr-5000-channel-sq-full-21305429 I do not have any official quad recordings to test the receiver with but I did test all the speaker outs and they all work. Thanks for looking!

This vintage Lafayette HE-30 Ham Radio Tube Receiver is a great addition to any ham radio enthusiast's collection. With its classic design and high-quality Lafayette brand, it's sure to be a prized possession. The HE-30 model is a reliable and powerful ham radio receiver that is perfect for both beginners and experienced users alike. If you look at the first few pictures you will see that the front does light up and I did my best to show the tubes through the outer case, I did see them glowing orange but I do not know how many tubes are inside. Please note that the bottom of the larger knobs does have a piece missing which I tried to show in the last of my pictures. This item is being sold as-is, without any mention of its condition. However, it is described as being in nice condition and is sure to provide hours of enjoyable use. Whether you're looking to upgrade your existing ham radio equipment or just starting out in the hobby, the Lafayette HE-30 is a great choice. This is a very heavy radio and I did offer 2 shipping choices. Thanks for viewing and God bless.
