Here is the latest - REALJAZZCAT is now including the following in his
"gold-pin" tube auctions (and I quote):

"MATCHED PAIR of*TELEFUNKEN ECC83 12AX7 Ribbed Plate tubes with
enhanced gold pins"

Since this is somewhat ambiguous, let's be clear about this: he is
admitting that he gold-plates the pins. It's probably as close to a
confession as we are going to get from him that his 40+ prior fake
"gold-pin" auctions were a scam.

Of course he may pull the above quote from his auctions at any time.
