Current tubes (with a few notable exceptions) sound nothing like classic 50s / 60s USA & European production. I recognized this in the 90s and stockpiled what I deemed to be a lifetime supply of NOS tubes for my guitar amps as I purchased each (and 6L6 power tubes just in case a Tweed Bassman appeared here one day). My sources were Mike at KCA and the late Charlie K of Vacuum Tube Valley. These are not "re-issues"; they are all NOS from 50s, 60s & 70s. All prices are cash; Paypal & shipping not included. Tube prices are lower than those of any reputable dealer who still has stocks of any of these tubes. Quantity discounts are negotiable.
As a courtesy to DIY I am not uploading <lots> of hi-res photos here. You can see all tubes, details, pricing etc at

SHIPPING NOTE: While I can ship these anywhere all sales are final, so better if you can inspect these in person or have an NYC-based friend do so for you, so that you are certain about what you are purchasing.
