Vacuum Tube Accessories

Retainer (Belton). for use with EL84 tubes, mounts to chassis. Steel plate with nickel plating and natural coil spring.
Note: these retainers are for specialized socket below chassis mounting. (See mounting drawing below.) The springs are too short for standard sockets mounted level with the chassis surface.

8-pin ceramic tube socket commonly used for octal based power, preamp, and rectifier tubes. Great replacement for Fender, Marshall and others.

• Convenient top or bottom mount capabilities
• Includes mounting bracket
• Spade type pins
• 1-1/16” to 1-1/8” chassis hole required
• 1-7/16” oblong mounting centers

9-pin ceramic tube socket commonly used for preamp tubes or EL84 power tubes

• PC mount
• 13/16” tail diameter
• Available with standard or gold pins

8-pin phenolic tube socket commonly used for octal based power, preamp, and rectifier tubes.

• Top mount
• 1” to 1-1/8” chassis hole required
• 1-1/2” mounting centers

9-pin tube socket commonly used for preamp tubes or EL84 power tubes (without shield)

• Top mount
• 1-15/16” shield height
• 3/4” chassis hole required
• 1-1/8” mounting centers
• Includes shield

9-pin plastic tube socket commonly used for preamp tubes or EL84 power tubes

• Top mount
• 3/4” chassis hole required
• 1-1/8” mounting centers

Please note: This socket will not work with tube retainer S-H144

Mounting Centers = 1", Overall Height = 2.2". Keeps common preamp tubes in place while dampening vibrations to reduce microphonics. Supports a maximum tube height of 2.1 inches

8-pin ceramic stand-off tube socket commonly used for octal based power, preamp, and rectifier tubes.

• PC mount
• 1” tail diameter
• Available with standard or gold pins

9 pin miniature socket saver. Commonly used in tube testers. Socket savers absorb the main wear and tear from many tube insertions and removals. It's much easier to replace a worn out socket saver than to replace the original socket.

Rubber ring for retainer S-H141 fits EL34/5881 and 6L6GC tubes.
Outer Diameter: 1.38"
Inner Diameter: 1.00"
Thickness: 0.16"

The YJS is a specialized, current-limiting/voltage-conditioning adapter for use in most 20 to 100 watt amps that use 6L6, EL34, 6550 or 6V6 output tubes. The YJS is for amps with fixed bias power tubes. (Fixed bias tubes have their cathode connected directly to ground and a negative DC voltage applied to their control grid). All Yellow Jackets® converters come with JJ Brand EL84/6BQ5 vacuum tubes.

Vacuum tube base clip. Grips tube base with teeth to securely hold tube in place. For use with octal sockets with 1-½" mounting centers.

8-pin plastic tube socket commonly used for octal based power, preamp, and rectifier tubes.

• Top mount
• 1-1/16” chassis hole required
• 1 ½" mounting centers

For use with guitar amps and applications where KT88/6550 is suspended upside down in the chassis.

Mini vise. Great for securing small, light-weight components like potentiometers, tube sockets and switches while soldering or de-soldering. Clamp opens to 40 mm max.

8 pin octal socket saver. Commonly used in tube testers. Socket savers absorb the main wear and tear from many tube insertions and removals. It's much easier to replace a worn out socket saver than to replace the original socket.

Solid State Rectifier Direct plug-in replacement for 5AR4, 5U4 and 5Y3 rectifier vacuum tubes in amplifiers with center tapped secondary power transformer. Use when less 'sag' is desired in the power supply; just switch back to the tube rectifier when 'sag' is desired.

Black plastic 8-pin plug. This is the bottom portion of an octal tube base including all 8 pins and guide key between pins 1 and 8.

2" tall, for use with P-ST9-AWS. Push/twist to chassis, no mounting centers. Belton manufacture. Aluminum sleeve with natural coil spring. Spring length: 26mm

9-pin Micalex tube socket commonly used for preamp tubes or EL84 power tubes. Applicable for use with all types of electronic equipment using vacuum tubes.

• Top mount
• 3/4” chassis hole required
• 1” mounting centers

4-pin ceramic tube socket.

• Bottom mount
• 1-1/4” chassis hole required
• 1-1/2” mounting centers

The YJShort is shorter than the standard YJS converter, allowing for use in amps that do not have room for the standard converters. It is a specialized, current-limiting/voltage-conditioning adapter for use in most 20 to 100 watt amps which use 6L6, EL34, 6550 or 6V6 output tubes. All Yellow Jackets® converters come with JJ Brand EL84/6BQ5 vacuum tubes.

9-pin phenolic tube socket with attached shield base.

• Top mount
• 3/4” chassis hole required
• 1-1/8” mounting centers

Please Note: Tube retainer S-H144 will not work with this socket

Bottom mount ceramic socket has bossed mounting holes and recessed rivets to allow sub-panel mounting. Socket fits 300B, 811 size tubes.
