Need a UCC85 to complete a restoration I've been working on for a week, and came across this gem on epay
Mullard UCC85 Vintage Valve on eBay (end time 28-Jan-11 22:30:56 GMT)
"Tested all good" ... Can I stop laughing yet?
On a serious note to Toob Noobs ... tubes where the silver "getter flash" on the tube has gone white means the tube no longer has a vacuum... it certainly won't work...

Hi,
UCC85 - ECC85 this is the equivalent (VHF triode)
I'll have a look I remember a silver shiny old Mullard ECC85 out of an old radio somewhere!
Didn't know they now come with snow cap..LOL 😀
Regards
M. Gregg

Oh that's lovelly ... from the wording of the email, he expects someone to pay $800 and re-glass them .... anyone got a vacuum plant to hand...?
at least they're not "tested all good" ... 😀😀
😀😀
😀i was told in another forum that there is actually a merket for busted 300B......if that is true, then the 300B is good dead or alive.....😀😀😀
Years ago there were companies who re-built CRT's ... so I suppose it's not out of the question..... and a 300B would be worth more than an A56-540X!!!
Are there any plants left that do this? Used to be 2 or 3 in the UK to my knowledge, going back to the mid-late 80's though ...

Kennetron in East Taunton, MA evidently still rebuilds tubes here in the US.
It looks like Tube Depot still offers new Westrex-made 300B's for $900 per pair, so why bother?
