Vacuum Tubes

The first electronic amplification of sound was done with Vacuum Tubes. We have pre-amp, power and rectifier vacuum tubes among other types in New Old Stock from the golden era of American & European manufacturing as well as current production tubes from today.
Vacuum Tube - 12BZ7, Triode, Dual, Hi-mu
Heather-cathode type high-mu twin triode of miniature construction designed for use as a resistance-coupled voltage amplifier or phase inverter and blocking oscillator.
$8.90
Vacuum Tube - 50C5, Beam Power Amplifier
Miniature beam pentode primarily designed for use in the audio-frequency power-output stage of radio receivers. The tube features high power sensitivity and high efficiency at relatively low plate and screen voltages

Starting at $31.45
Vacuum Tube - 6SA7, Heptode
Metal pentagrid converter. It is intended to perform the combined functions of the mixer and oscillator in superheterodyne receivers, especially those of the all-wave type. The 6SA7 is constructed to provide excellent frequency stability.
$3.90
Vacuum Tube - KT88, Electro-Harmonix
Electro-Harmonix KT88 Vacuum Tube High power kinkless-tetrode for use in amplifiers such as the Marshall Major. This tube is a favorite of audiophiles. Can be used in place of 6550 for a more "round" bass signature.
Starting at $68.70
Vacuum Tube - 6H6, Diode, Twin
Twin-diode with individual cathodes brought out to separate base pins. The 6H6 is designed for service as a diode detector, automatic volume control rectifier, or as a low current power rectifier
$4.90
Vacuum Tube - 19T8 / HABC80, Diode, Dual, Triode
Miniature tube containing three high-perveance diodes and a high-mu triode in the same envelope. One of the diodes has a separate cathode connection. The tube is designed for use as a combined AM and FM detector and audio-frequency amplifier.
$7.90
Vacuum Tube - 50EH5, Pentode, Power Amplifier
Miniature power pentode primarily designed for use in the audio-frequency power output stage of radio receivers and phonographs. The tube features high power sensitivity at low plate and screen voltages.

Vacuum Tube - 5881 / 6L6WGC, Sovtek
The 5881 is a very reliable tube that is widely used in many current production tube amplifiers. It has a warm tone with good 'bite.' This modern version is able to tolerate higher voltages than its 5881 / 6L6 cousins. The Sovtek 5881 delivers a warm, round tone that "sweetens" any vintage or modern guitar amp design. Built to rigid military standards, the 5881 will tolerate higher voltages than any other 6L6. In fact, they're frequently used as replacements for the old 7027 model in vintage Ampegs. Extremely consistent from piece to piece.
Starting at $37.05
Vacuum Tube - 5R4WGA-B-Y, Rectifier, Full Wave
Long life, ruggedized, reliable full wave rectifier tube.
$11.95
Vacuum Tube - 6F6, Pentode, Power
Pentode amplifier designed for application in power output stages of receivers
$12.95

Vacuum Tube - KT88, Genalex Gold Lion
KT88 power tube reissue of Genalex Gold Lion. Made in Russia.
In 1957 Marconi-Osram Valve Co. (Genalex) introduced the "King of Power Tubes", the legendary Gold Lion KT88. This tube became the heart and soul of such classics as the Dynaco Mark III, McIntosh MC275, and Marshall Major. Unfortunately, Genalex ceased tube production in the early 1980s and the Genalex Gold Lion KT88 has become very expensive and hard to find.
After extensive research and engineering, New Sensor Corp. has reissued the famed Genalex Gold Lion KT88.
Starting at $90.85
Vacuum Tube - 6005 / 6AQ5W, Tetrode, Beam Power

Vacuum Tube - EF86 / 6267, Tube Amp Doctor, Premium Selected
The Tube Amp Doctor EF86 / 6267 is a low noise and low microphonic version of the vintage pentode. These tubes were famously used in classic HiFi equipment and microphone preamps. The original Vox® AC15 circuit also used an EF86 and now, thanks to its recent availability, there are plenty of options for guitar amplifiers utilizing this unique tube. The TAD EF86 / 6267 meets all of the standards of the Tube Amp Doctor Premium Selection process. This tube has a rugged construction featuring an aesthetically pleasing perforated shield.
