Some Dealer Suggestions for NOS Tubes |
|
|
I've purchased, over time, half a dozen small old guitar amps, such as
Supro, Magatone, Silvertone, Kay, etc. I'd like to experiment with
replacing the tubes on some of these. I understand that there are a
lot of folks selling stuff as NOS which isn't. I don't mind paying a
fair price for genuine NOS tubes. Can you recommend some honest
dealers in this area?
Thanks

There are no more NOS tubes in common guitar and hi-fi numbers. Go use
new ones instead and you will quit making people defraud you. |

Often NOS small signal tubes are no more expensive than new ones. I'm not
impressed at all with the longevity of Sovtek 9 pin production. I'd take a
Telefunken any day over any modern tube.
Output tubes are another matter. Might buy NOS for hi-fi but not for
guitar.

Contact Jim McShane. He sells both NOS and modern stuff. Honorable too.
(It takes a crooked garage trader to know the difference . . . )
