Military-Grade 814 Valves for Sale

Fellow DIYers! I am reaching out to you regarding a unique collection of 814 valves that I currently possess. These valves were acquired from France some time ago, and I have meticulously preserved them since then.

However, as life often leads us down unexpected paths, my circumstances have shifted, prompting me to reassess my priorities. Consequently, I find myself in the position of needing to part with these valves.

I am posting here to inquire whether you might be interested in acquiring this collection. The valves are in impeccable condition, having been carefully maintained, and I believe they could be of value to someone with a passion for such items.

Given my impending relocation to another country, I am eager to find a new home for these valves. If you are interested or require any further information, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.

Thank you for considering this opportunity.

Long ago, in 2002, I made some tests with this tube in triode connection :

It's indeed an interesting tube, which can be operated in Triode, Ultra-Linear, or Pentode, with a reasonable plate voltage - I only tested the Triode connection in fixed bias (see above).

I think I still have some PHILIPS like yours, and also some GE 814/VT154 somewhere in a box.
