fenrirlupus Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 i know nothing about tubes... could you tell me something about these (i want to know which are interchangeable ect. especially because i can't find some of them new anywhere...) 12ax7 12au7 5U4 6BA6 6AU6 6V6 6C4 6CA4 6GW8/ECL86 I'm having trouble finding 6BA6, 6AU6, and 6GW8/ECL86 new (there are some NOS on ebay, but eventually those will be gone...) help?
MikeRom Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 Check out thetubestore.com or eurotubes.com for good explanaintions and substitutions if they are available.
Just Strum Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 I've dealt with Eurotubes, good people. Send them an e-mail or call them, they will be very helpful. I don't know anything about the other place guitarslinger recommended, but I would imagine they would be the same in answering your questions.

m-theory Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 Some of those you will not find except as NOS or used. You'll have to check with someone that sells NOS tubes, such as the tube depot, Doug's tubes, KCA tubes, etc.
