direct from my best military connection .original boxes these are as good as any ever made .last forever and a no brainer when summed with any of the generics . the trouble with the new stock models is they dont last and when they go ,they are quite capable of taking valuable components with them.tt

Just want to say that TT has always been an excellent source for NOS tubes! And a riot to boot. Love the guy!

No need to settle for run of the mill new tubes or take chances on Ebay stuff, just shoot him an email with what you're looking for.

Silly question.
In addition to these old stock rectifiers being bullet-proof and virtually immortal, do they tend to provide a higher plate voltage than the modern equivalents?

Dunno. I popped them in my cathode bias amps and forgot about it.

Ah, Ol terry will get back roudn to us I'm sure. :D

I bought 2 of these for my cathode bias amps, and I'd like to lay in a spare.
I hate new rectos. Had a JJ cause me a bunch of problems before I figured it out. LOL

There was a guy on ebay selling a few pairs of Matsushita's (Zaerix branded) on ebay for $49.99.
Nobody bid and he never re-listed. Big shame. I was hoping to snag a pair. I've not had a tube-rectified amp as yet, but am wondering what to build next, and my stocks seem to be rising steadily! :lol:
