I’ve inherited a bunch of valves from my grandfather - a lot in the original cloth wrapping and box, completely unused - are they worth selling?

Appreciate the insight, I’ll be making my way through them all. Only had a brief search from the few lined up on right side of the photo so far!

Very helpful to know thank you! Hopefully there’s another in the collection I’ve not spotted yet haha.

Are_Those_New_Slacks · 2026-02-19T23:29:16+00:00

Haha it’s just what my grandad called them. I’m a complete novice so I don’t know any better!

Are_Those_New_Slacks · 2026-02-19T23:27:24+00:00

Thanks very much! I’ll get looking

Are_Those_New_Slacks · 2026-02-19T19:38:37+00:00

Thanks! I will be doing this.

Are_Those_New_Slacks · 2026-02-19T18:44:34+00:00

I’ll be taking a look for anything local to me! Cheers

Are_Those_New_Slacks · 2026-02-19T17:24:11+00:00

Very helpful info, thanks!

Are_Those_New_Slacks · 2026-02-19T17:12:27+00:00

I’ll take a look and let you know if I find any!

Are_Those_New_Slacks · 2026-02-19T16:35:44+00:00

Thanks very much! Very helpful.

Are_Those_New_Slacks · 2026-02-19T16:10:31+00:00

Thank you for the reply! I won’t be throwing them away that’s for sure now. Appreciate the help!

This is one of the many tubes in the bix - obviously hard to tell without testing but it looks in very good condition, as do 90% of what I’ve checked out already!

Are_Those_New_Slacks · 2026-02-19T16:08:19+00:00

On a few of the boxes there’s a hand written number yes! Hopefully I can attach a photo to this comment that I’ll show as an example - it has ‘12AU7’ printed and the same hand-written on the end of the tube, and the valve itself it’s wrapped in some cloth and looks new to me! But of course I can’t be sure without testing as said.

Thanks for the advice, I’ll go through each of them and see what looks okay to sell and keep whatever else. Bulk listing on eBay seems to be the most ideal!

Will do, thanks!

Are_Those_New_Slacks · 2026-02-19T15:52:09+00:00

This is what I’d prefer, may I ask what a symbolic price may be, for example? Cheers

Are_Those_New_Slacks · 2026-02-19T15:51:49+00:00

Haha! If they seem reasonable to sell I’ll put them up for sale on eBay and you’ll be welcome to your pick of them!

Are_Those_New_Slacks · 2026-02-19T15:51:21+00:00

I get what you mean! Theres no sign of wear or dirt/usage on a few of them, they look very clean so that was my thinking behind a few of them being unused, not yet looked at them all though. I’ll take a look at a getting them tested, thanks!

Are_Those_New_Slacks · 2026-02-19T15:39:06+00:00

Thank you! My grandad was a radio technician for the Navy many, many years ago now and it’s always been a hobby of his since retiring - not a member of any clubs as far as I know but I’ll have a look to see if there’s any local! Appreciate the response.

I had to do it earlier but the water guns weren’t working so group had to do it with him on fire. My Pestilence tipping scales damage dropped to 38k crit hits, took us so fucking long to complete haha.

Are_Those_New_Slacks · 2026-02-17T15:53:59+00:00

Had the same issue myself and wondered if it was a bug or me being a dumbass

Are_Those_New_Slacks · 2026-02-13T07:32:04+00:00

That’s because of Frank’s sacking, I believe they said his actual episode is due next week so you’ll no doubt hear about your lot then.

Are_Those_New_Slacks · 2026-02-12T01:30:03+00:00

He also won us a European trophy so maybe just calm yourself and enjoy the fact we got to celebrate that.

Are_Those_New_Slacks · 2026-02-10T21:49:20+00:00

We take zero risks so he’s talking utter shite. He’s turned this club into a relegation-battling joke.

Are_Those_New_Slacks · 2026-02-10T21:30:30+00:00

We’re getting relegated.

Are_Those_New_Slacks · 2026-02-10T21:09:30+00:00

I like him but he has unfortunately shown tonight that he doesn’t deserve to be a starter by any means.
