an ad for "lightly used" tubes that turn out to be throw aways? Well, there is someone in this thread, who defines NOS in the strict sense of the word, who has done just that.I agree that the term NOS has become abused. I believe that there is also the term ANOS--which means almost new old stock. Maybe YECH could have used that term. However, at what point would a tube not be ANOS? (See above.) At any rate, it doesn't seem as though he was trying to hide anything. If I had been a prospective buyer, I would have been more interested in the original source (dealer) of the tubes.
Question--If a person did not actually purchase the tubes back in the 40s, 50s, etc., how can anyone actually claim to have NOS?
