For use in my Bottlehead crack amplifier. Mine is on the way out (RIP), and the only other one I have has a very irritating microphonic sound.
Anyone have something no longer in use?

Can it take the Russian 6H13C? I've got one on my Polish amp and it sounds rather nice.

There's usually sellers of decent NOS 6080 on flea bay for around a tenner. I got a couple of nice Thompson and RTF that way.
Best avoid second hand on the bay though, as the valve's design purpose was to be thrashed as a series pass tube. With that in mind I have some Mullards that look like Mike Tyson has been at their ears, and measure accordingly

I have a bag full of 6080 NOS.
The best is NOS GEC. I have RCA, Mullard, a Centron equivalent etc etc but easily the best is the GEC. At.least in the Woo headphone amp I used to own.
Not interested in selling one, though.
Just saying if you want a really good one, pay for the GEC.
I have a couple going spare.
A Mullard 6080 I suspect is used, but the base is not 'cooked'. Mike Tyson missed this one :-)
And a GE 6AS7 which is NOS.
I have no way of testing them other than the heaters are fine.
How does £10 each plus £4-50 postage sound? Alan

Hi Alan,
Happy to do a deal on that basis provided you don't mind giving a refund -postage in the unlikely event one/both don't work?
