FOUND!!! - WTB: 12ax7 tubes

[ott0bot]

hello all!

I need to replace a tube on my Summit 2ba-221, so I figured why not swap out it's twin and the tubes in the tla-50 pair as well.

locally I can get EH & JJ's for ok prices, plus other high end ones...but they are pricey. So, if you've got some NOS beauties or a 4 EH's you don't need please hit me up!

bump!

if you know of a great non-eBay source for tubes, I'm all ears!!! I can't find anything that's too good of a deal.

Here are the resources I usually check. Don't know if you'll find a "deal".

This guy Christian not only sells NOS tubes, he has tons of knowledge to share. You may email and ask what he recommends for your application: ProAudioTubes@aol.com

Hope that helps.

thanks, I'll check it out! As much as I want to improve the sound of these units...it's just hard to justify dropping $200 in tubes for a minor difference. just would like to tone down the brightness of these units, hoping to keep it south of 60 for a set of 4.

I have some vintage RCA's, not NOS although

thanks for the offer, but I think I found a local guy that will sell me 4 matched mullard re-issues for around $60. that'll do perfectly.
