I bought these tubes from Larry, after we got back from vacation I was going to install the tubes to my al-811h, when I opened the boxes with my "new" tubes, I discovered the tubes were not Penta tubes, and all were used. One of the tubes was even broken. Have not heard from Larry yet.
Started my case with Paypal.

Correction: These were 4 brand new Penta tubes in brand new boxes as shown. He never made any attempt to call or send email. He then filed a case with Paypal. He showed them 4 of his junk tubes and they always protect the buyer. He then sent me 4 used tubes and non were broken like he said, and thenn he got his money back from Paypal. That's how you can get screwed even with Paypal. Hope he is enjoying the 4 brand new tubes. Yes it was a very bad deal, for me.
