540.0. "where to buy tubes?" by PNEUMA::WOODBURN () Fri Mar 18 1988 16:23

    
    I am the satisfied owner of a new tube amp. As such, I'm thinking
    about the future when a tube may occasionally blow. Does anybody
    out there know of a good electronics dealer that carries a large
    assortment of vaccuum tubes? I live in the Mass. metro west area
    (Hudson, to be precise).
    
    Thanks,
    
    Rob

Stark Electronics in Wooster has several THOUSAND tubes in popular
(and formerly popular) flavors.  They buy up inventory from folks
who are abandoning the genre.  Also in Worcester, Arrow? TV repair
has a good selection of off-the-wall tubes.

Enjoy,
Dave

    I just got a copy of the latest Allied Electronics catalog and thought
    I would list some of the tubes they carry.  These appear to american
    tubes.
    
    TUBE	PRICE EACH
    -----------------------
    6550	28.16
    EL84	 9.67
    EL34	15.93
    5881	 9.40
    6L6GC	14.94
    12AX7A	13.95
    12AT7	12.95
    6V6GTA	11.24
    807		20.35
    EL86         8.73     
    
    
    They list lots of tubes so ifyou need a price on something other
    than what I listed, give me a shout, I'll gladly look it up.

540.4Sorry, I "found" the '90 catalog... ;-)SALEM::DWATKINSStrat hackerFri May 04 1990 14:3212
    Steve, 
    
      No, I just pirated the catalog.  Give them a call at 1-800-433-5700,
    I'm sure they can send you one.
    
      I just looked in a MCM catalog and the tube prices seem to be
    alot cheaper but they don't list even half as many types as Allied.

Just got in a flyer from Daddy's Junky Music store, and it looks like they're 
having a big guitar amp/cab sale. Besides the usual used stuff they have, 
they're also advertising 40% off all Mesa/Boogie tubes. 

6L6: $19.99 for a matched pair
12AX7A: $4.99 each
EL34: $29.99 for a matched pair

    Do they handle mail order?  My EL34s are shot.  I might as well get
    6L6s this time and grab a spare set of preamp tubes.

>    Do they handle mail order?  

I don't know if they do or not. You can call them - the number for the store 
near me is 603-669-9346. 

If they don't do mail order, send me Email and maybe I can pick them up for 
you (for a nominal shipping and handling charge  8^).

    re .10 
    
    Sale started last Saturday, not sure when it ends. I picked
    up the last pair of EL34s that the Nashua store had, but I
    assume they have more other stores...

540.14Groove Tubes AND their resource bookSMOGGY::TURNERWed Apr 17 1991 16:025
    See note 396.18. This is a note on Groove Tubes which are sold in
    matched sets. It has their address and reports briefly on a book
    they have that's a great resource for the tube amp owner.
