#vacuumtube #vacuumTubes
Hi, looking forward if anyone has any "unwanted tubes" and/or "some tubes available for some small projects NOT at IMPOSSIBLE prices". I am NOT looking for stuff like KT88/EL34/etc. more like ECC81 some "final pentode" for some small size "little projects". I live in UK I don't know much "where to look for tubes". I mean last time I really bought a tube was around 10 pounds, now I see the same tubes at 100 pounds each that scares me ! 😱 Thanks in advance foe any info.

Working on an old #zenith #antiqueradio for a friend. Model is #H845 - top of the line for its day in the 1960s. I haven't really dabbled with a #vintage #radio yet, but, watching and learning from lots of vids. So far, tested some #tubes and replaced 3 bad ones, though I might replace them all to ensure it continues working for a while since it's for a friend and I also bought a whole set of #NOStubes from Bob Dobush's site: www.findatube.com -- highly recommend for #vacuumtubes

My favorite power tube: the Groove Tubes KT66HP. I run these in my very rare early 2000s Mesa/Boogie F-50 narrow chassis 1x12 combo. Mesa tells me only about 400 were made before they changed to the Wide Body chassis/cab. I have a small stash of these that will probably last the rest of my life. #guitar #amplifier #vacuumtubes
