GE 7951A Tubes

[royewest]

My friend is cleaning out his mom's house and found 4 of these.

Suggestions for where they could be used, a circuit designed for or that would benefit from them?

I did a little searching and got lost pretty quick.

Thank you all as always for your generosity,

These tubes are sort of in-between a 6L6 and EL34, but squished down so they would fit in tube receivers back in the day.  They are worth quite a bit as a quad if they are brand new in boxes, and I would just sell them off on that basis.  In my opinion, there is nothing advantageous about using these over EL34s other than the shorter bottle size, which is no longer relevant.

Thank you, Paul. Would you suggest where to sell them?

Just a note - I think the tube is a 7591A, not 7951A (which does not exist).  :^)

Sigh, yes of course: late-onset dyslexia

Reverb, eBay, DIYaudio, etc. are all places where you'll find people looking for those.  If you're in a major city, Craigslist might work too.

Hi Roy, I just saw your PM and answered, sorry I missed it.
