Thanks,,,I am not that sophisticated, but I have confirmed with several folks this is a 4 ohm tap only. I have been told the tranny with an 8 ohm tap actually has a different part #.

but can it be either 4 or 8 ohms or only 4 ohms?

Is this always a 4 ohm tap or did they make both a 4 and 8 ohm version? How do you check? Or is there any need to if they only made it in 4 ohms?

Generally speaking the Tungsram will be a little brighter, but I do not consider these to be bright tubes, just compared to the pre-war EI. The pre-war EI are a long plate tube so they will tend to be a little warmer, creamier, and ...

hey tejastubes, i came across some odd power tubes 6878 a pair and a quad of 7591. any value? i havent tested yet but there working pulls i dont think ill build with them , i heard g0od things about both i also found over 20 12ax7a some branded wurlitzer some lowery , but there was a great looking ...

Well, as a tube dealer I thought I would chime in here and discuss what determines the value. The price of the tube, in my opinion, is determined by not only the make and condition in its in, but also by the level of testing, and service which comes along with that tube so the end user is confident ...

800 euros which is approx $1,061 USD in todays rate. Regardless of who selected them this is stupid unless they were NOS GEC KT66 or GEC KT77 or GEC KT88, then that would be approx fair value. I disagree with structo on his pricing of RCA BP 6L6GC tubes as these sell for $400 per pair NOS NIB or $27...
