Study the photos below ... it's the best matching set you'll see anywhere.
A 4pcs are STRONG, about 120% of new, so these are NOS or very low hours.
Carefully stored spares, from HiFi estate, in Telefunken boxes. The boxes are old and show many stains due to age (exhibit A, H). The early Telefunken tubes inside look beautiful and sound wondeful.
Emissions test shown below for easy reference -- all sides are over 120% dynamic emissions. (see full lab test reports for GM & plate matching data below, exhibit A,D,E,H). The QUAD Tested strong and quiet on multiple testers. And, played in preamp....quiet to ear - No microphonics.

These are the classics; West German of the 1950s have long set the standard for 12Ax7 dual triodes ... a very clear, detailed sound come from these ... and absolutely one of the silkiest, sweetest 12ax7's you can own. Plus, genuine early Tele's go forever as well, outlasting most... (they have superior build quality) other brands of the era.
Study the large photos & reports below, and you can see they are genuine Tele tubes and in great, matched shape!
Strong tubes, and they sounded great, when tested in a hifi audio amp -- QUIET and WONDERFUL..
Gourgeous Tele's. The flashing is beautiful & shinny, pins are straight. White Ink, clearly marked West Germany (exhibit A,E), a couple of tubes have partial ink, all have legible letters...
The units are matched construction, TALL 17mm, top halo, and have diamonds in the glass on bottom (exhibit G) .
Likely the most throughly tested set now online ... anywhere ... and so throughly checked out & fussed over QUARTET, all made close times in the late 1950s era.
And you don't see a a near perfectly QUAD matched set of tubes like this very often.
A QUAD matched set like this is irresitable to both the collectors and audiophiles .... all over the world. These will surely sell quickly -- Buy now to avoid a bidder's war.
