It's very possible that there are four Scott labelled Telefunken 12AX7's
in there. those would be worth $200 used.
The outputs, in good shape might be worth another $40
and commonly, there was an Amperex 5AR4, used, it would be worth
at least $30. And, of course there are the very hard to find Telefunken
6U8's,
wortth another $60 at least. You could be looking at aver $300
worth of tubes.
I tend to apply Don Lancaster's 30:1 buy/sell ratio in these cases
which means if there is an idiot willing to pay $300 for a USED 12AX7
my cost can be $10 at most and that's contingent on a test on a
suitable tester (the stock TV7/U, an excellent tester , is
disrecommended for this type by Alan Douglas, who is IMO a lot
brighter than the people posting on r.a.o. typically) and in circuit.
Und so weiter.
Put 'em on eBay and take what you get. Or better yet sell the unit
minus tubes (or with new ones) and the tubes separately.
FWIW these OPTs are not worth parting the unit out but if you were
going to they work great in guitar amps. They are OLD-and OLD
transformers do fail. NEW transformers once past teething are far more
reliable.
