Glory, I've been away for quite a while and just happened to be researching tubes for my AMR again and saw your post. The Bendix were wonderful for a couple of months and then just crapped out on me.
I do not know if I was purposely sold old or defective tubes at the time (even though they were represented to me as NOS) or not. However, based upon subsequent dealings with that same dealer. I now consider him to be fundamentally dishonest.
Thus, I am now not sure if the tubes I had were representative of what an NOS Bendix really has to offer.
I am now open to suggestion as the AMR distributor screwed my player up when he upgraded it by taking out my double crown chip and never replacing it . Between that and the tube issues, I have never been able to get the real magic back with my AMR that it used to have. I now use it mainly for headphones and have since gone back to my Reimyo as my main CDP.
Regards,
Frank
