Hello,

I need to replace a tube in my Oktava MK-13M. The mic was built int 1973, and is actually supposed to be a transistor-based mic. Mine is apparently some kind of a protoytpe model.

It is a pentode tube.
The tube reads: 6C31B-P 8807

Any resources, ideas, referals, whatever... it's all welcome. Ive searched all over the net and cant find anything.

thank you.
mtar

Hey man,

Try emailing new sensor. newsensor.com

They have an amazing collection of tubes, and sources for them, and NOS, and new tubes for any application I have ever thrown at them. Some of them cost more money than others, but they have always hooked me up.

Ask for Meg, and tell her Joel sent you!

Sorry to ask the obvious, but did you try typing "6C31B" in Google? There appears to be a supplier of this tube (gstube.com) right on the first page of hits.

woah... that's super weird. I swear i searched on google last week and it only came up with 2 japanese pages that had nothing to do with tubes. Wow, I dont know what's going on, but thanks!

You also might want to try a PM to Michael Jolly. He works with pentodes in his own mic mod's and should have some good advice.
