NOS Valves - never used

Post by Audioq »

I have some (now) NOS power valves which I originally purchased for my Sonic Frontiers Power 2 (8 x 6550/KT88) in 2003/2004 from SF and Parts Connexion. These valves have never been used and look perfect. I now use a SF Power 3 and need 16 of these babies to retube but for the life of me I can't find any on the market to match these. UK dealers have told me these are NOS and unavailable.

I have as per pics below,

8 x Svetlana winged c 6550c and
8 x SED winged c KT88.

If you have any interest in these i.e. an amp that takes 8 or less power tubes I can let these go for €400 per octal which is fairly cheap for these. This should enable me to buy 16 of something reasonable for my amp. Alternatively if you also have 8 unused Svet/SED to match the above I could purchase them from you to get to the magic number. Thanks.

400 per octal or 400 per octet?
Do or do not, there is no try

Yeah, octet is probably more correct! Should have just said per 8 instead of trying to be fancy.

I am interested in the kt88. Can offer 300 for the 8, I really only need 6 but good to have spares

Thanks for link. I will give them a try. Actually I remember buying some stuff from Kevin when I lived in US. Only downside is duty and VAT from US but $70 is probably ok for these.

300 sounds reasonable for KT88s. What amp do you want to use them in? Pm me with details and I can give you a shout. Cheers
