my matched pair GU74B never delivered since feb 2020 Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Hello friends
First of all, I'm sorry to come to your forum across the Atlantic just to ask you something:
Here I also had ordered a pair of GU74B for my ACOM it was February 26, 2020 and I still have not received anything!
I asked them for news for the first time in May 2020 for their response:
>
Second complaint Sept 2020: this time no response although their website was still active
Today may 2021 still nothing and no more access to their site !!
I now understand that I will probably never receive my order for QRO parts which probably no longer exists ...
I lost my money of course but I also understand that we are all living a dirty period with this covid
I was able to successfully and quickly get another pair of tubes from another US supplier if you ask which one I will tell you of course
Now my question please: do you have any information on QRO parts ??
thank you,
Phil F6FHO

Good GU-74B tubes Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Purchased a pair of GU-74B tubes for my ACOM 2000A. I installed them per the instructions and let them bake "on standby" for several hours. Fired up the amp and everything is working as designed. Lots of power and no issues.

No Issues, Great Price Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I have twice ordered GU74B tubes (1 each time) from QRO Parts with no problem. One of the tubes was rather gnarly-looking with a slightly dented radiator fin,but the tube works fine at full power. To be honest, both tubes somewhat resembled what most of us would categorize as "junk-box" parts, but I knew what to expect and was not disappointed. I would definitely order again.

Honest dealer ! with good packing of items Time Owned: more than 12 months.
My experience was purchasing GU 74B(s) and took
a while via mail but arrived safely - Honest
vendor who has some very good pricing very attractive to AMP BUILDERS - Especially good
for Vacuum Capacitors and Russian Tubes

WARNING no refund or guarantee policy. Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
My GMI-11 tube glass base was cracked across one of the pins at the entry point. This is a VERY tough and thick part of the glass envelope and the tube was well packed. It was also plugged into its base and further protected. I reckon you could play footy with the parcel and not break it. I find it hard to believe the damage was done in transit and our postal people are generally quite civilised anyway.
QRO Parts reply to my report.

QUOTE "This tube was wrapped in the bubble wrap 5cm thickness.
We understand you received it not from us but from the postal service and customs of New Zealand. There's often damage the packaging and goods in parcels. We regret that there are working barbarians. Our condolences". UNQUOTE

I can only advise that any outfit that has a nil return or refund policy really has a license to sell or pass on anything. We buy at our own risk. I gambled and lost but simply don't buy from these folk if you don't gamble. Hi.....

Too much attitude Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I purchased a quantity of door knob capacitors advertised with hardware (special machine head metric thread) from these folks when they were selling on ebay. The caps arrived without the hardware. Even though I did not receive the hardware, I gave them positive feedback because they shipped quickly and caps were as advertised, but noted the deficiency in my order.

The guy who runs QRO parts, proceeded to send me a nasty gram, ranting how I should not have posted the truth on ebay, but he would provide the hardware, which BTW never did arrive.

Frankly, a person who is this ungrateful, with such a nasty disposition, will never see my business again. I understand hams as a group can sometimes be difficult to deal with, but there is no need to treat your customers in such a nasty hateful manner.

I am giving them a two because the parts were ok and a good value.

Bad Tubes Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I ordered (2) 4CX800 tubes from QRO Parts and one of the tubes had a defective pin and I had them for spares in the package and didn't know. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND TIME.

Parts work Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Just ordered and received in 3 days two NOS GU74's.

Tubes work fine in my QRO-2500 at full output.

Prices are reasonable and communication with the Texas center, Mats, was very good.

10-years nice experience seller Time Owned: more than 12 months.
QRO-Parts is good seller with 10-years experience. We was purchased here a 10pcs. GU-84B tubes for contesting PA and we was take excellent unused Power tubes in original boxes! No one is obliged to sell worldwide For example,many U.S.sellers are deal with the U.S. only,and no one finds this as absurd..
