Dave Slagle ( Intact Audio ) IT and OPT

Hello all,
Walking away from the DIY part of my audio disease. I've got a lot of high quality tube stuff that will be coming up.

First, a pr of IT and OPT from Dave at Intact Audio.
Originally wound for the EML 20B and EML 2A3 or 45.
The OPT are specced at. 5K/12 ohm ( I'm a single driver enthusiast ) and are wound on a 49 % nickel core. The IT, while wound for the 20b, can be re-gapped as necessary for other tubes ( Dave was going to regap for the 26 triode I was planning on using to drive an EL84 ). The core is nickel.

I took delivery from Dave in the Sumer of 2016. Been in the box ever since.'

Both are brand new. Never even mounted on anything.

Haven't got a clue how to post pics here. Send me an e-mail if interested and I'll attach them to the return.

These are as good as it gets. They don't call him the Slaglemeister for nothing.
Take a look at the Stereophile article by Herb Reichart ( March 2020 ).

Now for the sticky part.
The OPT were $ 1200/pr. I'll let them go for $ 800.00/pr. Shipping and insurance to the lower 48 on me.

The IT were $ 500.00/pr. I'll let them go for $ 325.00 pr, same shipping conditions.

I will ship internationally. However, be aware of the following.

I will not lie on a customs form.
I will not ship the cheap way ( first class mail international ). It will have to be priority or express so it can be insured. these are heavy, and it will be expensive.

International shipping and insurance costs are on the buyer.

Thanks for looking

Good story behind it.

Clelow,
thanks for your interest.
I can't give you specifics, but Dave wound it specifically to load the EML 20BV4, which lists an RP of 3.3K. So it will work fine with any tube with an RP up to that. I also asked Dave specifically about the 6922, and he said it would be fine. He also said it would work fine with the 26 triode, but the primary would need to be re-gapped. So as far as quantifying the tube by RP, just about anything goes.

As far as the current rating goes, I told Dave I would be hitting the tube in the middle 30's range (ma). So anything up to that would be OK.

Sorry I can't be more specific, but I'm no whiz bang at this stuff. It was easier to tell Dave the tubes and let him take it from there.

thanks, Crazy Bill
 
I was under the mistaken impression the IT cores were 80 % Nickel. I checked with Dave, they are 49 %. Too much current through it and the EML 20B, so the core would saturate.

Sorry for assuming. I should know better.

Cheers, Crazy Bill
