Ad Message:
Offering a very late date coded EIMAC CPI version 3-500Z tube. This is a 1996 vintage tube which is pretty close to the last of the great Eimac production 3-500 tube when it was also CPI. The tube has been fully tested and is full output with low hours. The glass is cyrstal clear. A good chance to get one of the later version tubes.
Will ship tube CONUS for $140.00 thanks 73 Lou
I purchased the Tube, Piad with Paypal, Received the Tube and not As Described. You could barely see the Eimac Emblem and the last two numbers of the Date code which was --33. Sent him an Email stating he sent the wrong tube and decided to call him. He stated it was the '96 Tube. I asked where it says '96 ? and I quote ( Blow on it and hold it just right in the light and the four numbers will pop right out at you) unQuote. I'm old but not Stupid. It was not as he Stated Late Date Code.
I sent it back and he says no Refund. Refused the package and it's on the way back to me. How Stupid is this.??

Received the tube today and I think you sent the wrong one, not a mark on it that says anything about 1996?? It' wiped clean and very unhappy for $140.00.
No, I sent the right tube, The date code is 96, maybe you can't see it.

Eimac was no CPI in 1979 so that can't be

Hell not a '96 tube, Very pissed for $140.00!!!
Oh, but it is. It's full output and it is a 96 CPI just as I said it is.
Regardless of the lettering??

You wish, sell it to another Sucker that you said was interested!
Martin, you bought the tube, it is what it is. I said it is a 1996 CPI Eimac full output tube and that is what you bought. I can't help the fact that you can't flip the tube for a profit. DON'T send the tube back because I will NOT issue a refund so you will be out the tube and the money. You have buyers remorse and that is NOT my problem.
I had figured on keeping trhis one with Bright Red Lettering and a Date code you Read,
On too Paypal to file a Complaint.
