Shuguang EL156 Tubes

[ezaudio]

Hello,
I'm looking for some help finding some Shuguang EL156 tubes. Apparently they are not made anymore and are hard to find. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

A few are on eBay but horribly expensive.

Same pin-out as tubes like KT90. Any particular reason you want/need Shuguang?

Why not use true EL156 ?

Like Telefunken? Because they have a completely different base compared to Shuguang.

Yes, but why use these "replicas" ?

Yes, but why use these "replicas" ?

Maybe because they have a standard octal base.

I doubt these have anything in common with EL156 except the name.

Thanks for the reply. I saw this website but when you go to check out it says they’re not available z

Hi Jeff,
I believe they are 8 pin instead of the original 10 pin. I’m looking for replacements for Eastern Electric M156 monoblocks.

Ah, we did not know from the beginnig you want to replace octal base tubes.
Eastern Electric M156 in the first post would have saved time of a few people.
