Paul, I have a matched pair of Sylvania Baldwin 6SN7GTBs - these are the 'chrome dome' organ spec ones from 1967, matched date codes with green print and Baldwin branding. £40 plus post for a pair. Please drop me a PM if interested.

Does anyone have a good Telefunken ecf80 they'd like to shift? I bought one 'nos' a while ago but the seller ('Mullard Magic') only had one and I need a pair for my kel84.

Tbh I'm actually quite settled with the Mullards I'm using but I guess as I have one Tele' it would be nice to get another and do some sort of a comparison.

Plenty of Brimar and Mazda, some Tungsram, EI, and 6H1P Octyabr Russian equivalents but not a Tele in there I'm afraid. Maybe Feebay if nobody here can help?

Thanks, and yeah I have looked on eBay but some sellers are asking quite a lot for them. I'm pretty sure Watford were selling them for £12 each a few months back but now they only have the gold pin versions for £35 each. It's only idle curiosity really so I'll just hang on and see if one pops up somewhere 🙂

The gold pin E80CF are low noise instrumentation selections. All of that series, EC80 through 86, are impressive valves in a manufacturing sense, but the difference of the selected variants if used in audio is certainly questionable outside of line level applications.

You are right, patience is the friend of a tube hunter, what you want will turn up presently.

when going through my cupboard I've found few 6201 tubes which are of no use to me as I bought another 2 nice pairs recently , all have Hamburg Df6 codes but bit of mixture of Philips SQ, standard Philips and Valvo branded ,gold pins, all have exactly the same internal build . I might find another Valvo if someone is obsessed with same print . £20/each plus postage around £3 I guess , be quick as these would sell as NOS on the Bay :cool:
Tested at 250V plate voltage , -2V grid and 12.6V DC heater - long life version of Ecc81/12AT7

Philips 6201 SQ with print
emission: 95% 85%
transconductance: 95% 90%

Philips 6201 SQ vey little print left
emission: 100% 83%
transconductance: 105% 92%

Philips 6201 with print
emission: 80% 100%
transconductance: 95% 110%

Valvo 6201 with white print
emission: 100% 85%
transconductance: 112% 96%

I have a matched quad of 6SN7WGTA SYLVANIA BLACK BASE that have 5 hours and bought from Langrex. I paid £140 including shipping.

https://www.langrex.co.uk/products/6sn7wgta-sylvania-black-base-nos-valve-tube/

I'm looking for a quad of 6922 would consider NOS or modern. Happy for straight swap within reason.

I'd also be interested in a decent 274B rectifier too. Either or.
Hi I have a quad of electro harmonics 2 of which are the cryo treated version. If they are if any interest.

Hi guys - selling a large quantity of my valves. Prices can be negotiated to some extent for multiple numbers.
Please contact me with any questions or if you want more details about particular valves. I would draw your
attention to the European radio triodes - these are rare and collectible and have a gain (mu) of 30 or over. They
sound very good and make excellent driver tubes for amplifiers.

Hi all.
This is for the geeks/techs (if at all). I have come to the sad conclusion, with 'modest' assistance from SWMBO, that I do not need one quarter of a tonne of valves, also that she needs another spare room 😢
I know, I do want them, but truth is I won't use them. So I am offering a huge range for free. Non-audio valves only are up for grabs, don't go thinking my PM4 and old stock 300b collection are up for grabs! I will try to get a list up but have eff all time. If you repair stuff and need something PM me, I may have it and if so it's yours! Triode/heptodes, double diodes, radar stuff, variable mu pentodes. Maybe have to collect, maybe Wam taxi/audio jumble/BVWS. If you are starting into toob circuits and would like rather a lot of toys do ask.
This will take time, these things are valuable to people who need them, not to yer average bod.
