Tube newbie here. I would like to experiment with tube rolling, on my 1962 Electrohome Montego SET receiver.
It uses the following (original 55-year-old tubes, I assume):
2 X 6BQ5 (EL84) (Brimar "Made in England" - maybe not original?)
2 X 7025A/12AX7 (unsure which brand - enclosed in metal foil)
1 X 6BL8/ECF80 (Rogers)
1 X 6C4/12AU7 (?)
There is a local TV repair shop still in business, amazingly and they have the following tubes available.
- 12AU7A EH: $14.95
(ELECTRO HARMONIX - RUSSIA)
- EL84 (6BQ5) EH: $16.30
(ELECTRO HARMONIX - RUSSIA)
- 6BQ5 USA: (Call for prices)
- 6BL8/ECF80: $5.80
- 6C4/EC90: $5.10
Any feedback, predictions and opinions on these tubes would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
