Part 1) not tubes

Item

Description



Tube Sockets. B4/B5 Gold.
Order number for 1x 50pcs
398-501-68

These are boxes of 50pcs. Perfect quality sockets. Ceramic disc, gold plated. This is surplus form one of our customers, who stopped with his company, but these sockets are the same as current new production. This is clean and 100% good material. Appr. 700 pcs on stock. Shiny like new.

price: 35 Euro for the box of 50pcs. GOLD PLATED!

On Ebay you can see some Chinese, doing direct sales, and want 13 Euro for 10pcs, or 7 Euro for 4pcs, and these are NONE-GOLD plated. These we sell here, are gold plated, cost only less than a Euro, but you need to buy a full box of 50pcs.

Smaller quantity, at normal prices, from the price list.

 


Part2) NOS TUBES AVVT
I am fully selling off my AVVT stock. Some I kept ever since 1999 as collector items, some for the memories, and some as a reference, because at that time we initiated many ideas, which later were realized at Emissionlabs. It is a strange feeling selling the first 2A3 mesh tube we ever made as the first company. The first 2A3 we ever build at all, I still have it. At that time, there was only a Chinese 2A3, and enough NOS for everybody. What days that were! Today I need to more space here, and I have decided to sell off this collection. Some are listed without pictures, I had not so much time. If you want pictures of some, please just let me know. AVVT NOS tubes are very rare now. I mean real NOS. Not used NOS like on Ebay. The greater part is gone at the moment, still quite some interesting pieces are left. IT WILL NOT COME AGAIN LIKE THIS.

2A3-Mesh. Year of build appr. 1998

2A3-Mesh NOS.

This is not an AVVT tube, but I have no better place to add it. This is from the very first 2A3-Mesh series, made by the people who were abandoned by AVVT. There was no brand name yet.

This is a new, good and unused tube. A nice item, with 3 months guarantee. Test report can be made with it, please ask.

AVVT 8B-BLU

8B was a wonderful and versatile tube for experienced users. (Datasheet here) and it has a sweet and silky sound.

Also used as driver in the magnificent VAIC REFERENCE, the largest VAIC amplifier ever build.

You can replace a 45 with those tubes, but you need to make sure you have 5 Volt for the heater, and adjust the bias 11 Watt, and it will be close to 11 Watt itself. No guarantee on this of course. Keep it is mind as a possible option, for in case adapting the bias and heater voltage is not a secret to you.

I think these also work in the Lampizator. Please contact me, if you have this is mind, I will clearify this for you in that case.

AV8B-BLU

This "blu" was the word Mr. Vaic used for this special glass, so I'll leave that in. Extremely rare Blue glass version.

The best description for 8B is: As used in the VAIC REFERENCE amplifiers.

Beautiful, exclusive tubes. Less than 10 pairs were made ever with blue glass. If you want something rare and special, this is really it.

This blue glass, has a transparent gold plating, giving a gold-purple reflection in daylight. Same as sunglasses with metal coating, and they have this colored mirror effect, but the coating is much thinner here, in order to still look inside. The look-through color of these tubes is dark blue.

They look much nicer as on the pictures. They look like objects of glass art, and I think that is what they are indeed. The anodes at the inside are white mirrored.

The official datasheet here for the AV8.

New, unused tubes. Top Quality NOS from the best period.

AV8B.

AVVT 8B

Same as above, but normal C37 glass.

After being able to serve VAIC Reference users with this tube type, this is the LAST NOS PAIR I have availble, ever since 1998. When these are gone, the game is over, there is no way to get any NOS any more.

 

Part3) AVVT Overhauled tubes

This was a one-time program. When these are sold, there will be no more. We had a box of AVVT tubes, with low emission. The overhaul was done at the EML factory, we are probably the only company able to do this.

Please note this: With tube overhaul, people sometimes think we have a way, to quickly slide in new heaters, and it works again. It is not quite like that. We need to break off the glass. Also the glass stem is lost. The original socket, we have to clean it. This has to be done for every little piece part, instead of taking it from stock. This is what makes tube overhaul 50% more expensive. The old grid, we must replace it. The mica discs in the top, and bottom, are cut into pieces, until the parts which we need fall out. Etc etc, But in the end, we have an AVVT tube again, re-build with it's own parts. The only difference you do see, is we use normal red-orange glowing EML filaments, vs the bright orange glowing AVVT filaments.

  • Optics: Will be the almost the same, apart from the filament.
  • Heaters: we use the darker glowing Emission Labs heaters, which have a multiple life time as the AVVT heaters.
  • Tube hum: A lot lower as with AVVT, due to much better filaments of EML
  • Glass shape: We use the AVVT ST glass shape.
  • Guarantee: Three months
  • Mechanical strength: Same high quality as EML. We replace also the soft AVVT side bars, by hard metal, same as EML. Risk on shipment damage is low as can be.
  • EBAY NOS: Have you also noticed, on Ebay all AVVT tubes are alway NOS? But when people try to sell some unused AVVT tubes to us, they are NEVER like that. They are either used and reasonable, but most of the time at the end of life, or with failures. Never any NOS. That is why we do not buy purchase any AVVT tubes from persons or dealers any more. What we sell here is REAL NOS, which I received myself from Mr. Vaic in the 1990's. So you see, all those people selling NOS AVVT tubes on Ebay, do you really believe it?

Telefunken RE604

Pic1 - Pic2 - Pic3 -Pic4

Price: Please inquire

This is one if the strangest item I have ever had. This is a TELEFUNKEN RE604, but it has a failure. The heater of this tube is not Barium Coated. This coating is still inside the Barium "pill", the part you can see in the middle of the anode, and it is normally activated by inductive heating. With this tube this was not done! This gets visible optically, because the tube burns bright orange, much brighter than normal. At the same time, the heater current is much lower than normal. So you will understand how unlogical this is.

The lower current is caused by the higher wire temperature, and the wire gets hotter because it is now metallic instead of white-grey. So heat radiation is significantly less, because in vacuum this depends extremely on the color of the surface. And shiny metal reflects not only heat, it also prevents it's own radiation of heat.

When you know how to activate a Barium pill, or want to try it, here is your chance. Because I do not know it. But I would recommend you to leave this "as is". Such a tube, I think there is only one on the world, preserved with a "none activated yet" Barium pill. A 90 years old Telefunken, and even the RE604. If you want a unique show item, this is it. I removed the socket nicely and clean, no damage or burn spots. What you see is just resin from de-soldering. The socket is perfect condition. Because initially it looked to me like a loose anode wire. Of course I never expected something like this. It would be easy to put the socket back on.
I really don't have the time to sell small packages on Ebay, this is perfect material, when you have an EBAY shop.

Looking for 6SN7 NOS? You can try with 7N7 instead! This tube is for sale in beautiful NOS quality. Only thing the socket is LOCTAL. 6SN7 and 7N7 are electrically INDENTICAL. datasheets are electrically identical, and I see even the same piece parts in there. Loctal sockets look and cost the same as octal sockets. So think out of the box, and buy a five pack 7N7 fore what you pay for one 6SN7. The socket is almost wired the same. The tube is rotated inside the bulk for one pin position and two pins are exchanged. So not a big difference. The amplifier chassis needs not be significantly changed when you modify your amp for 7N7.

Look in the price list for order Number: 114-165-48

We have also Gold Pin socket adapters from 7N7 to 6SN7.
