5842 - tubelab - russian ripoff
I ordered some "WE417's" from eastern europe on ebay, and they are NOT pin compatible.
I thought I'd have my amp finished today, but unfortunately I won't.
I can't find 5842's anywhere! The tubelab site says they can be found for about $10.00, but the only ones I can find are about $60 each!!
Does anyone have a source for these tubes?
thanks

Thanks a lot! I dont know why I didn't check there first. I just checked a bunch more sites I know of and found them for about $25.00 each.
so the russian's I was sent are 6c3p's, and I guess it's the 6c4p which is pin compat.. URG
edit - just looked that up, and the 4p's not compatible either. Why are they sold as the same thing?!?
I guess for p to p I could make it work, but this project is PCB.

Look the number up on the site and then call Stan. 5842's are $10 to $15 depending on brand. I have been buying from Stan and selling him tubes for 10 years. I took him a station wagon full of semi useless tubes last week, and asked about 5842's (among others). He now has over 3 million tubes.
