hi, i couldnt help but notice that the popularity of tubes has not encouraged manufacturers into making their tubes bore "decrative". why cant you get blue ones,that would be so cool.
Hi,
Not sure whether JJ/TESLA still makes blue EL34s but the blue EL34s once made by TESLA certainly were popular in Asia.
Cool or not is a matter of taste I suppose but people sure are willing to pay more for a retro looking tube.
Cheers,😉
P.S. Apparently it's still being made:
BLUE GLASS EL34

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
You could always put a blue LED in the middle of the valve socket (pointing up) to give a pretty blue glow to the valve.

Or use lots of 6L6s and similar blue-glow tubes. 😀
