I Get a Page that says
" THIS SITE DOES NOT PROVIDE A SERVICE FOR
VISITORS FROM THE USA & CANADA "

http://www.svetlana-tubes.com/america.htm


ouch,, I guess they dont like us anymore.

Edit,
Click the "rest of the world site and it opens, Under resources it says that USA and canada must go through a different site due to a trademark issue.

 

[Tom Bavis]

Svetlana no longer holds the US trademark - sold as SED in the US.

If you want the data sheets and ap notes, they can still be found on the wayback machine... links on my site: http://www.audiophool.cjb.net/Techno.html

The first time I went on Svetlana's site was 1½ year ago and the message was already there.

 

[Ryssen]

Ok,some links on the web didn´t work,Smaller amount of tubes than it used to be.

Svetlana site works

If you delete the word "america" from http://www.svetlana-tubes.com/america.htm
and just use http://www.svetlana-tubes.com/

you will get into their website for the rest of the world and get information about their products. It makes cool sounds every time you click on something.

I recursed Svetlana's site through a proxy before they went down. Let me know what you need from it

Just checked it out tonight, pretty slick.. I always liked their 6550C, 6L6GC, and EL34. Can't say the same for their 300B though, didn't sound all that great and of 12 I purchased 8 have failed. (Usually filament to grid short due to saging filament and poor tolerances when originally built. Types I, II and III) I no longer use their 300B or recommend them.

Winged C a.k.a Svetlana tubes to the rest of the world outside of North America are distributed in the USA and Canada by PM Components Group.

Antique Electronic Supply, Triode Electronics and others stock the Winged C brand tubes.

IMHO if you want a 6550 this would be my first choice, their 6550C is quite rugged and has proven reliable in a variety of amplifiers I have built commercially.

The Svetlana/SED branded tubes currently sold in the USA and Canada are produced in a Russian plant now owned by New Sensor. (The former Reflektor plant if memory serves me.) Mike Matthews purchased the right to use this brand name when the US based joint venture company SED went into bankruptcy some years back.

New Sensor makes and sells good tubes, and stands behind what they sell. I've never had a problem with any of the hundreds of tubes I purchased from them.

Glad i did a search and did not start a new topic
on this strange message:

" THIS SITE DOES NOT PROVIDE A SERVICE FOR
VISITORS FROM THE USA & CANADA "

Anyway
though not being from over there (other side of Atlantic Ocean)
I couldnt get into Svetlana site
to get some information about 6N1P which are available here.
I might buy me some for making some tube preamplifier newbies experimenting.
I think Svetlana 6N1P is a pretty good tube?

If anybody does get into trouble when visiting Svetlana site www.svetlana-tubes.com

Yup, you can always enter by clicking on "rest of the world". If you get directly to the page telling that the site isn't available to US and Canada, just remove americas.htm.

now as i cant 'just click'
i imagine it is only my firefox 'window popup blocker' that is doing its great job!

i wouldnt change this browser setting
but i am sure you are right DragonMaster (even if Iwill not test)

so for those with setup like mine
use
http://www.svetlana-tubes.com/svetlana.htm

FFX is warning me actually - just click to unblock and click link again.

I get better performance from a Svet KT88# EL34 than an Ei KT90 in the same circuit (with adjustments) . On the whole I find tubes from Svet PM group very consistent.
