Tube Exchange

Recommended Posts

Looking for some feed back as to whether or not this would be a good idea. 

 

I have 3 quads of power tubes with either one or two bad tubes per quad.  Currently I need one JJ KT-77, one Tesla el34, and two EH6550 tubes.

 

There may be someone out there with spares or incomplete quads who would be willing to sell or swap single or pairs of tubes.  If I could find what I need above for the price of four used tubes I would have three complete quads.

 

There would be the matching issue and tube testing which I don't do.  Plus the possibility of damage during transport and how to handle bad tube purchases. 

 

Worth while? What do you think?

I have used dougstubes, tubedepot, and the tubestore.  I was just curious if tube swapping would work.  Pairing individuals with tube needs.   

Not a big deal.....I can get a quad of JJ KT-77s from tubedepot.com for $80.00

Try looking at Jim McShane for the single you need. I've bought many tubes from Jim, a real square shooter, I always look there first.

Matter of fact a matched pair of Gold Lion KT88's is on the way.

Good luck --
