Vacuum Tubes
The first electronic amplification of sound was done with Vacuum Tubes. We have pre-amp, power and rectifier vacuum tubes among other types in New Old Stock from the golden era of American & European manufacturing as well as current production tubes from today.
Tung Sol 5751 dual triode preamp tube. Made in Russia. NOS specs call the 5751 a “special 12AX7” having a high-mu amplification factor of 70.
$25.75
Blue glass envelope. The JJ Electronic E34L adds more power to a standard EL34 due to its higher grid voltage rating. This increase gives the tube more headroom and a tighter response on the low end. The wide frequency response of this tube offers excellent harmonics that work in a variety of genres ranging from the cleanest cleans to rich and aggressive breakup.
Starting at $18.95
Miniature power amplifier pentode designed for use in the power output stage of compact, battery operated equipment. It is particularly useful in three-way portable receivers which employ 90-volta batteries.
$8.90
Mullard 12AT7 / ECC81 dual triode preamp tube. Made in Russia.
$22.50
Super Premium power beam tetrode & exact copy of the original clear glass KT66, used in the early Marshall amps which created Eric Clapton’s "Bluesbreaker" Tone.” Full sound with improved bass response and shimmering top-end.
- Originally a British equivalent to 6L6 and a mainstay of the British hi-fi industry
- Used in 50s - 60s hi-fi favorites such as the Heath W-5M and many Leak amplifiers
Starting at $41.95
Medium mu triode and sharp cutoff pentode in the 9 pin miniature construction. It is intended for use as a combined VHF oscillator and mixer in television receivers.
$9.90
A high performance, long plate version of the ECC83 / 12AX7. Like all JJ preamp tubes, these are built into a rugged package using the spiral filament and robust plate structure resulting in low microphonics and high reliability. The long plate version of this tube differs from the standard version with its stronger and fuller sound. This tube will work in any 12AX7 or ECC83 position.
Starting at $13.95
In the ECC823, Section 1 of the tube (pins 6, 7, and 8) is the low gain 12AU7/ECC82 spec (gain factor 17) and Section 2 (pins 1, 2, and 3) is the high gain 12AX7/ECC83 spec (gain factor 100).

Groove Tube's Gold Series EL84. The warmest Groove Tube in this family. It remains very buttery, with relatively high power output and very even response. A great replacement for many modern stock amps, overcoming a variety of design issues and limitations in inexpensive tube amps.
$44.00
7591A Electro-Harmonix Power Tube Beam power tetrode used in vintage Ampeg and Gibson guitar amplifiers. Also, used in tube hi-fi equipment made by Fisher, Scott, and Harmon-Kardon.
Starting at $27.95
Miniature pentagrid-converter designed for use as a combined mixer and oscillator in superheterodyne circuits. Because of its small size and high operating efficiency, the 1R5 is especially adapted for compact, battery-operated equipment.
$5.90
Miniature diode sharp-cutoff pentode designed for use as a combined detector, audio-frequency amplifier, and automatic-volume-control tube in compact, battery-operated receivers.
$6.90
Metal pentagrid converter. It is intended to perform the combined functions of the mixer and oscillator in superheterodyne receivers, especially those of the all-wave type. The 6SA7 is constructed to provide excellent frequency stability.
$3.90
The 0C3-A is a two-element gas filled, cold cathode voltage regulator. It is designed to provide a regulated output of approximately 105 volts.
$6.90
Pentagrid converter designed to minimize frequency drift. They are intended for service as combined oscillators and mixers in AC, storage battery, and AC/DC operated superheterodynes.

KT88 power tube reissue of Genalex Gold Lion. Made in Russia.
In 1957 Marconi-Osram Valve Co. (Genalex) introduced the "King of Power Tubes", the legendary Gold Lion KT88. This tube became the heart and soul of such classics as the Dynaco Mark III, McIntosh MC275, and Marshall Major. Unfortunately, Genalex ceased tube production in the early 1980s and the Genalex Gold Lion KT88 has become very expensive and hard to find.
After extensive research and engineering, New Sensor Corp. has reissued the famed Genalex Gold Lion KT88.
