"Hi, I'm in Delaware."
I've got a full set of tubes for a Blues Jr., though they're pretty common tubes you could use in a lot of amps (I'd prefer to sell them all at once, though). There are 3 12AX7s (aka ECC83), one of which is balanced and goes in the V3 position on the Blues Jr., and a matched pair (two tubes) of EL84s. I bought them less than a month ago, so I have probably used them for maybe two weeks. There is absolutely nothing wrong with them, but I finally came to the sad realization that the Blues Jr. is not going to give me the tone I want, so I put the old tubes back in so I'm not selling it with a brand new set of super nice tubes :) I think the EL84s are mediums as far as breakup goes.

Looking for $50 shipped to anywhere in the US. That's $10 less than I bought them for to account for the measly amount of wear I put on them.

I will probably post my Cannabis Rex speaker that I bought for the amp soon, so keep your eyes open for that if you want one.
 
Hmmm, those are the exact mods I was planning on doing...except that I thought I'd go with an Eminence GB 128, but the C Rex was under consideration.

Lemme think about this. Got a couple other deals I'm pondering at the moment.

I hate being broke. :mad:

I hear you on that one. That's why I can't afford to just keep it around if it's not essential. I think the CRex was a great upgrade, but nothing I did seemed to make the amp cooperate with my guitar. Everything was just a marginal improvement, though the speaker was about the only upgrade where I actually noticed a difference. I think somewhere on these forums are some sound clips I did comparing the stock speaker with the CRex.
 
I'd like to hear that clip.

What kind of guitar(s) are you playing with it?
 
Were both of those examples after the new tubes?
 
Oh, no, those were both with the old tubes.
 
Ok, I'm willing to split them up. Make me an offer.
