On CLOSE examination, I note that all of the insulating sleeves are
discolored, and the discoloration becomes darker the closer you get to
the base of the tube. I would guess that the discoloration is from being
exposed to long hours of heat from the tube. One insulating sleeve is
also cracked, which to me is another indication of long hours of heat,
possibly age, and probably 'reckless handling' when being removed from
the circuit that it was soldered into. Which brings me to my last and
final point. Note the solder, on the only two leads that are visible in
the photo. If it is new where is the box that it came in, with the name
Elesta and the number ER-32 clearly labeled on the box? I did go and
search on Google for an "image" of 'ER-32', and 'ER-32 trigger', and
'ER-32 trigger tube', to no avail. Also searched on Frank.pocnet.net,
and also Jeremy H. Harmers collection on line for some sort of a photo
of hopefully a new one, but to no avail. My collection of over 5000
tubes, does not have an example. I'm a member of Tube Collerctors
Association, TCA, so I'll ask there for you as well. Looks used to me.
I would certainly communicate the above observations and concerns to the
seller. His feedback is quite good, so hopefully you will get some
honest answers to your concerns. On the other hand he clearly states in
the ad text, NO GUARANTY, NO RETURN, if my German is till good enough.
Why is that if the tube is NEW?? Good luck, and let us know how you
make out. I guess that if you went ahead and bought it, and it arrived
to you and was obviously USED, you could file a claim with Ebay to get
your funds back, but that's a long and messy process. Ira.

There are 9 ER32's for sale on eBay right now, looks used from the
photo but it says new in the auction text, the auction is for just one
piece but the seller says he has 9 for sale.
