how bizarre, an aquaintance just dropped off a milk crate of electronic 
parts for me. in the crate were some dual concentric 1 Meg pots with 
switches, some DB25 female connectors, a technicians assortment of 
electrolytic caps and.... dozens of vacuum tubes!! help me out here. I'm not 
a tube guy so I don't know what I'm looking at. I can't tell if they are new 
or used, my friend says there's both. here's some numbers:

6KM6
6EN4
6GH8A
8417
12GN7A
3A3C/3AW3/3B2
6BS3A
6AQ5A/6HG5
7247
6CB6A-6CF6
6CW5/EL86

Are these useful for audio apps? without a tester can I verify which are 
still new and which are used?
