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.
Heater-cathode type high-mu triode designed for service as a high gain audio-frequency amplifier and is especially useful in resistance-coupled amplifier circuits in a-c or battery operated equipment
$4.90
Mullard 6V6GT tube. Made in Russia. This valve is built to stand the high voltages encountered in the Fender Deluxe Reverb and other guitar amplifiers that ran the valves above the published specification. The smooth and balanced frequency response also makes it suitable for hi-fi use.
Starting at $47.75
Beam power pentode primarily intended for use as an audio frequency power amplifier. It is particularly useful in applications where the available supply voltage is relatively low.
$5.90
Medium-mu triode using the lock-in construction. It is designed for use as an oscillator, detector, or amplifier. It is characterized by moderately high transconductance. It is particularly applicable for service in the higher frequencies.
$9.90
9-pin miniature type high-mu twin triode, with heater having controlled warm-up time.
$8.90
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
The 5Z4 is designed for service as a power rectifier in AC operated receivers.
$8.90
Miniature, remote-cutoff pentode designed primarily for use as a high-gain radio-frequency or intermediate-frequency amplifier. Features include low grid-plate capacitance, relatively high transconductance, and low heater current.
$6.90
Miniature, medium-mu twin triode primarily designed for use as a cascode, radio-frequency amplifier in very high frequency television tuners. In this application, its performance is characterized by high gain and low noise figure.
$3.55
Miniature power pentode designed primarily for use as the video output amplifier in television receivers. The tube exhibits high transconductance, high power sensitivity, and low interelectrode capacitances.
$7.90
Tung-Sol has reissued the rare 7189, a high fidelity audio specific variation on the EL84 tube. In addition to the increased fidelity, the 7189 features a higher maximum plate voltage rating of 400V. These tubes are great for both guitar and HiFi amplifiers and can be used in any EL84 or 6BQ5 position.
Starting at $46.60
The Svetlana 6550C is an excellent choice for users looking to upgrade their current 6550 tubes. This Russian tube features a robust plate design offering a high level of performance. The 6550C offers the classic big and open sounds that made the 6550 famous. The Svetlana 6550C works in any 6550 position. “Svetlana tubes are quite simply the absolute best. We design and manufacture our tubes, engineered for demanding high fidelity, reliability and overall warmth. Be sure to insist on genuine Svetlana vacuum tubes the next time you retube -- you'll be getting the absolute best possible tubes for any demanding application.” -Svetlana
Starting at $68.70
Medium-mu twin triode suitable for use in a wide variety of general-purpose amplifier and phase-inverter applications. It is also especially useful as a blocking oscillator, multivibrator, or vertical deflection amplifier in television receivers.
$22.95
Miniature beam pentode primarily designed for use in the audio-frequency power output stage of radio receivers. Features include high power sensitivity and high efficiency at relatively low plate and screen voltages.
$15.90
The 3A5 is intended for use in high frequency applications. The relatively large filament employed in the 3A5 enables it to supply the high peak currents required in RF power applications.
$5.90
Electro-Harmonix 7868 power pentode tube with a magnoval style base. Made in Russia.
Starting at $53.55
Blue glass envelope. A sonically faithful reproduction of the original tubes with a robust construction encased in a thick glass envelope. The JJ KT88 delivers a powerful 42 Watts with plenty of headroom to spare. This tube has a tone that is warm and lively with a detailed and balance response.
Starting at $71.85
Low voltage, low current drain battery type beam power output tube. It is designed for services with 90 volts of "B" battery and a single dry cell "A" battery.
$4.90
Miniature tube containing a diode and a sharp-cutoff pentode. It is designed for use as a combined detector and audio-frequency voltage amplifier in compact battery-powered equipment.
$3.55
General purpose medium-mu double triode using the 9-pin button all-glass construction. The tube is characterized by high perveance and high emission capabilities.
$19.90
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.
$40.75
The 6BM8 contains both a power pentode and triode. It has a pentode plate dissipation rating of 7 watts with convection cooling.
$29.95
Heater-cathode type twin triode designed for use as a class B power amplifier in the output stage of a-c or battery operated equipment. It may also be used in a biased detector, oscillator phase inverter or class A amplifier
$7.90
Heater-cathode type beam-power amplifier tube designed for use in the audio-output stage of ac or ac/dc receivers.
