    A wise choice. These are unobtainable at this price in this condition...

    Do you have any UX4 base triodes you want to get rid of?

    Might be interested.

    Or any other 5U4G or similar 5V rectifiers?

    Or in other words, have you got anything decent? (LOL).

    :-):-) Rectifiers yes... 5U4G: RCA, Sylvania (hanging filaments), 'standard' coke bottle Tung Sol (I think- need to check) and RCA 5U4. The 5U4G Tungsol I listed earlier is the most sought after of the lot and cheap at the price ;-)

    Great collection BTW.

    I'll refrain I am on a USAF-596 mission at the moment recti wise. I have an RCA 5U4G and it is good.

    The only thing I think I might be interested in is the 5UG RCA. Can you post a pic and price?

    You might be right about the Tung-Sol. I have some NOS 6A3 black bottles and they have a tone no modern triode even gets close to. They aren't hi-fi compared to EML and KR manufactured triodes, but I love them to bits when I am in the mood for the grungy, murky sound they produce. An antidote to modern presentation. I must get them on the tester to see if it's just because they are knackered. To some extent I'd be amazed if they weren't.

    Vintage Tung Sol shouldn't sound anything like that! They may well beyond their useful lifespan...
