NOS Valves - never used

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?

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
