    Some RFT ECC83s now. Various labels, including some extremely cool 1970s OEM Marshall ones - these came out of various metal-case PA heads which I and other techs used to scrap for parts like transformers to repair the guitar and bass amps, before the metal-case ones became somehow valuable in their own right...

    The others include Mazda, De Banks, Edicron and even a Mullard, as well as generic Made In GDR - at the end of valve manufacture in the West, companies bought in valves from RFT and relabelled them. (The irony is that some were used by the British military, so effectively we were buying them from the enemy!)

    First come first served on any specific labels you want - £25 each for Marshalls, £20 £15 each for others, including postage. *Maximum of three valves per buyer* since demand was so high last time!




    All sold.

    John, if you get some matched RCA 6L6GC's GZ34 and 7025's I'll have them for obvious reasons.

    Sorry, I don't think I have any. If I have any RCA 6L6s - I think I might have a couple - they're old worn ones and won't be matched. I do have a tiny number of Fender-labelled 70s GE 7025s and possibly one RCA, but I can't guarantee the condition. No GZ34s left.

    Still a few of the RFTs left, and the ECC82s that aren't marked as sold.

    Slight price reduction on the non-Marshall RFTs, since they haven't been quite as popular.

    They're great valves - actually better than the Mullards in my opinion, especially in 70s-80s Marshalls.

    Do you have a single EL84. Something cheap and cheerful will do.

    I do have some single spares I use for testing, but they’re all of very questionable reliability - power valves have a hard life, EL84s especially since most amps seem to be designed to thrash them... I wouldn’t really be able to sell you one with a clear conscience :).

    You can buy a brand new JJ with a warranty from Karltone for £17 including postage.

    I dig what you are referring to. It is for my experimental project. So, feel free to sell me one :)

    OK, I'll have a look and get back to you later. I have an EL84 amp so I can test them properly - valve testers don't run them hard enough to be sure!

    Yes, enough for three each of either Marshall-labelled or the other ones.

    Still a very small number of non-Marshall-labelled RFTs and most of the ECC82s left.

    I think I do - just one, and I don't know how good it is, but I'll have a look and get back to you.

    Three OEM Engl-labelled Shuguang ECC83s - they came out of an amp I worked on ages ago (I forget which model) and the owner didn't want them. Obviously used, but I've tested them and they work fine. Put your Engl back to stock!

    £10 each or £25 for all three, including postage.
