SOLD : ORIGINAL LISTENING EAR TUBES - $125.00

Post by Shawn »

So, I've decided to sell off one additional set of ORIGINAL listening tubes.

These pair awesome with suitcase standards as homes, as well as early Class M and Bell Tainter machines. They were even used on Coin-operated machines. Interestingly they were also supplied with later machines and still show up in catalogs as an available accessory for quite a number of years - up to at least 1910!!!

These tubes have the original Gutta Percha ear pieces and Y piece. The rubber has been replaced with new, all gum rubber tubing, just as it would have had the day it left the factory. Pure gum rubber tubing degrades over time. It becomes brittle and fractured. It was necessary to replace the tubing with something usable. What makes these especially nice is that they have the ORIGINAL internal wire to stiffen and hold the ear pieces. This makes these an especially desirable set of listening tubes.

Original ear tubes are hard to find, and seldom offered. Don't miss an opportunity to grab this set!
