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.
Miniature, filamentary, sharp-cutoff pentode intended for radio frequency or intermediate frequency amplifier use in battery-operated receivers.

Triple diode triode for F.M. or FM/AM broadcast receivers and for video and audio signal detection in television receivers.
$14.90
A low microphonic tube built in the same rugged fashion as all JJ preamp tubes. This tube offers the classic warm 12AY7 sound with rich and balanced harmonics when pushed enough to break up. It’s a great choice for authentic tweed tones but can also help clean up amps when used in place of a 12AX7. Additionally, the JJ 12AY7 is a great replacement in 6072 microphones.
$21.95
The 5X4 is designed for service as a power rectifier in AC operated receivers which require high currents
$12.90
Twin-diode with individual cathodes brought out to separate base pins. The 6H6 is designed for service as a diode detector, automatic volume control rectifier, or as a low current power rectifier
$4.90
Beam power tube for use as a horizontal-deflection amplifier tube in color and black-and-white television receivers.
$14.90
Semi-remote cutoff pentode using the lock in construction. IT is designed for use as an RF or IF amplifier.
$6.90
Miniature, medium-mu twin triode designed primarily for use as a vertical-deflection amplifier in television receivers. The two sections may be employed in parallel, or as a combined vertical-deflection amplifier and vertical oscillator.
$29.90
Duodecar type tube used in audio-frequency circuits. The triode unit is used as a voltage amplifier; the pentode unit is used as a power amplifier.
$19.90
The type 12SC7 is a twin-triode amplifier designed for use as an audio amplifier or phase inverter. Special shielding arrangement in the base permits operation at a low hum level.
$5.90
Octal rectifier tube (Max DC output current = 125 mA) An indirectly heated diode intended for rectification of commercial-frequency alternating current. It has a 140 mA maximum output and filament voltage of 5 V and a filament current of 2 A ± 0.2 mA.
$30.05
Magnoval type used as a horizontal-deflection amplifier in color television receivers.
$21.95
Out of Stock
Miniature medium-mu twin triode suitable for use in a wide variety of general-purpose applications. It is particularly useful as a vertical-deflection oscillator and horizontal-deflection oscillator in television receivers.

The Classic Sound of the 1950s and 60s - Excellent Tone, Maximum Lifetime! The TAD 6L6WGC-STR Redbase is the perfect choice for vintage tweed and blackface amps such as the 1960s Bassman, Twin, Showman or Super Reverb. The complex midrange and sweet heights are a class of its own. The TAD 6L6WGC-STR Redbase is recommended for classic tone with warm cleans and rich, sweet mids when pushed. Great for fat jazz or blues tones and our favorite in all open back combo amplifiers. The TAD 6L6WGC-STR is a remake of the small bottle clear-top GE6L6GC and has the same warm lower midrange and silky top end as the classic GE versions of the 1950s and 60s. Like the historic RCA 5881, this tube features a small bottle enclosure, clear top and side getter. The TAD 6L6GCM-STR and the TAD 6L6WGC-STR have our exclusive beefed up cathode coating, gold grid wire, double getter construction, no-noise filaments and 1.2mm thick heavy duty glass.

The 6AL7GT is an electron-ray indicator designed especially for use in AM-FM receivers. Through its use, precise tuning of either FM or AM signals is easily accomplished without the use of additional tubes or circuit components.
$6.90
Remote-cutoff pentode. It is designed for use as a high-gain radio-frequency or intermediate-frequency amplifier in a radio receiver.
$6.90
Copy of the original type 3 Tung-Sol 6550 made in the 1960s. Triple getter, carbonized screen, and gold plated grid. The current production benchmark of the classic 6550.

Genalex Gold Lion ECC82/B749 (12AU7) dual triode preamp tube with gold pins. Made in Russia. The original Genalex Gold Lion ECC82/B749 is one of the most rare 12AU7 types ever made. This tube featured superb linearity, balanced sections, and extremely low noise. The reissue Genalex Gold Lion ECC82/B749 features gold plated pins and has been carefully engineered to recreate all of the attributes of the original. This tube is a premium replacement for all 12AU7, ECC82, 5814, and 6189 types.
$62.35
Heater-cathode type triode designed for use as a detector, amplifier, or oscillator tube in a-c or battery operated equipment.
$15.90
Miniature, high-mu, twin triode designed for use as a radio frequency amplifier or as a combined oscillator and mixer in FM receivers.
$3.90
The all-new TAD 7025 / E83CC Redbase Highgrade is carefully selected for all the demanding gain stages in any guitar or headphone amp, tube microphones or the extremely sensitive phono preamp-positions in audio amplifiers. Tonally, this tube produces fine, airy, silky and pleasant highs, a complex and dense midrange with clarity and definition in the low end - providing maximum smoothness and zero microphonics. Great warm cleans and creamy overdrive. Fine, unobtrusive highs, complex, dense mids and clear real bass. Selected for demanding applications for maximum smoothness and zero microphonics - even with very sensitive input stages of high-gain amplifiers.
