Needless to say I will be buying tubes, sockets, and some teflon caps from them soon.

The site is a far cry from the Technical Navigator site of old.. I think the site design is very good actually.

Should read "Technical Center Navigator" aka tubes.ru..

I saw those 4p1l sockets on that site, but for that price, I can get a whole handful of those tubes. There is a far east supplier selling 10 sockets for $16.00 or 4 sockets for $9.99. Quality may not be the same, but what the heck, I am on a tight budget. Even if some have to be turfed after a while, it is still better value in my book. The site is still interesting though.

Thanks for all the suggestion. I'll have a look at the specs of these tubes.

Just curious, what was in Russia the equivalent of the 300B and the 845 ? (Not replacement, just something that resemble)

Thanks,

Davide

gm70 is simmilar to 845......

you can get tubes in Moscow, and or St. Petersburgh....otherwise during my stay in the Sahkalin islands, people give me blank stares when i asked about "radio lampa"......

Note that should be rutubes. Different outfit, otherwise what I said above..
I've ordered some tubes from them will see how it goes.

Gm70 triode definitely!!! Great directly heated triode constructed for AF amplifiers and AM modulators.

Metal base 6N8S made in MELZ, Moskovski Elektrolampovni Zavod

Metal base 6N9S made in MELZ, Moskovski Elektrolampovni Zavod

6N30P

6S33S-V 6C33C-B Audio triode

And if you need cheap sweep tubes 6P41S and 6P45S ...

6N8S - get the tubes with the ROUND holes all others are not that good. Round hole 6SN7/6N8S sound SUPERB. Fetch some good $$ to here in the USA for good reason.

I've tried to get the in-laws (St Petersburg) to get me some, no luck yet and they worked in the USSR military, electrical engineers working with tube gear. They never travel without a solder iron and rosin flux (no kidding).

Cheers,

Bob

Be warned; the Locktal sockets that you mention from the far east do not work at all! The Russian ones are great.

Here you go:

B8G PTFE SOCKETS BASES TUBES VALVES 3A/167M NEW 2 PCS on eBay (end time 03-Mar-11 15:53:32 GMT)

And:

2pcs B8G LOCTAL SOCKETS FOR 3A-167M VALVE TUBE PTFE on eBay (end time 06-Mar-11 09:55:05 GMT)

These are the ones to go for just be sure to bend the tabs out in the middle. Use some long nose pliers and give them a tweek. You really dont want to be pulling tubes apart in your hand when you come to remove them.

Cheers Matt.

Hi Tony; you were obviously much luckier than me. I bought 30 and no amount of force would persuade any Locktal valve to go into them! This was about 3 years ago and I am glad to hear they have fixed the problem!
