6ca7 Quad

Philips - Matsushita E L 34/ 6ca7 Quad.


THESE WERE MADE IN JAPAN BY MATSUSHITA ON MULLARD MACHINERY THAT MULLARD SET UP FOR THEM, AFTER MULLARD WENT OUT OF BUSINESS.

This tube is featured by its single halo getter, two screen grib cooling fins, a narrow black base, grey plates with three notches and raised ridges, and a seam centering the top of the tube.

These tubes were made in Japan and rival Mullard tubes as they both were manufactured by Philips who was the parent company to Mullard. This tube has been considered by many to be as good and even better than famous Mullard F series EL34's.

These tubes are slightly used but is in great condition and tests exceptionally well. High end value vintage tubes such as these MATCHED QUADS are becoming harder and harder to find.

K T 61 British G. E. C. Osram



BRITISH KT61 OSRAM GEC. The KT61 is widely used in output stage of radio or commonly in the Leak TL10 point one. It's direct equivalent of EL33; 6A6G and CV type is 1438. These rare types with brown base are used tubes that test strong and are available.

Telefunken + Mullard E L 84



Mullard EL 84 used, tested strong matched pairs.

The Mullards have factory codes showing they are from 1960's and from the British and Dutch factories.

I have tested them for strength and listened to them in my 1960 Vintage Leak 20 amplifier to make sure the sound good, which they do.

Here is a comment published on an auction site here in NZ from a happy customer I sent a quad to recently...

I was after something specific - a matched quad of original Mullard
EL84's from the Blackburn factory in England. Paul didn't disappoint -He supplied me with exactly what I was after...and man they sound good! My old amplifier is transformed. Thanks again Paul. Highly recommend Paul's services.

They are available in matched pair or matched quad.

KT88 GEC RARE BRITISH TUBES



We have had some very nice strong used origional very rare BRITISH GEC KT88 matched pairs of tubes come into stock from a deceased estate.

These are excellent, increasingly rare original GEC KT-88 Valves made in UK, triple getter type. They appear to have had an easy life and test very strong.

The labels are a bit worn off the outside and date codes no longer visible, but the plates look really clean with no signs of heat spots etc so they should be a very reliable and they sound just great both in terms of a good strong bass response and a nice clear high end.

Latest Testimonials

Bloody marvelous! Before anything else, there is an excitement and respect just unwrapping something that has been living in a box for seventy odd years. They have a real clarity and detail that lets the nature of the Mullard 12AX7's in the pre-amp sing their true song; it takes that sound and faithfully reproduces and enhance it in a way that no other valves have. Brilliant! - thanks Paul.

I had a Steampunk project and needed a couple dozen valves for props. Paul was extremely friendly and helped me build up a collection of neat looking ones that will certainly add to the theme. Overall a great person and very passionate about sourcing and seeing these valves go to good use (even though it's not for an amp or radio!).

Paul has helped enormously re-valve my collection of vintage valve amps. Using his test equipment, he painstakingly tested over 100 valves, grading and categorising them and was able to supply either directly or through his extensive network all those requiring replacement due to either non function or matching equivalents. I can now be reassured the valves I'm using are of the best quality and fit for purpose. I would recommend Paul assess your valve requirements and rate his knowledge highly

Meet the best bloke on trade me! This guy is truly great, very knowledgeable, an absolute pleasure to deal with and as honest as the sun shines. If you really need world class TONE, then well done, you've found the doorway to a very exciting world...

Outstanding generosity toward a school project, with a donation of valves as asked. First class effort. thanks
flyboy39 (124 124 positive feedback) Thu 17 Apr 2014

Paul sent me 11 high quality valves to test in my fender twin reverb. He said he doesn't like to push people into certain valves which is great because i know my taste can be very different from others. I was impressed by the variety and quality of the valves and even more impressed by the sound when i rolled the vales through the amp. In the end i settled on 2 nice 12AX7 and 1 nice 12AT7. my amp sounds amazing now! only problem is.... i think i want to try every valve now!?!?

What great service Paul sent me 4 sets of tubes to try with no obligation to buy. One of the sets of tubes he sent me absolutely transformed my system, a system which incidentally cost wise is approaching $80K. From my perspective and dealings over seas I believe Pauls prices and service are up there with the best and I really did appreciated being given the opportunity to try before buy so am I wrapped in his products and service you betcha. Barry New Plymouth Thanks Paul

Paul's Service is outstanding. He sent 4 valves to me in Dunedin to try in my preamp, with no obligation to buy. I found one that gave me the results I was looking for, and Paul was very careful not to influence my choice. Its hard to imagine a better way to buy valves!
stoatgobbler (18 ) Wed 11 Sep

A very good service - sent me a selection of valves to try and I only had to pay for the ones I kept. Excellent.

paul20 (205 ) Address Verified Sep 2012 Tue 16 Jul

Paul is an extraordinary guy to deal with. He has helped me improve my system with the right selection of valves, he is always assertive and knowledgeable and this of course has improved my listening experience; my music will never be the same thanks to Paul. As he recommends, rolling the valves of your gear will lead to a new way of enjoying music. Cheers!

all I can say about Paul is wow! he is a top bloke that totally knows his stuff regarding all NOS valves in the world and he has it all. Cant say I have met someone like him before, he puts TRUST in people by sending them valves to try to get a feel on what these valves can do and I am very impressed! He help me find the right valve tube (Amperex 6DJ8 / Bugle Boy) for my Aune T1 DAC and it has made my DAC a top notch device. Thanks again Paul, will find you again for 12AX7's soon!

I am very impressed with the service that Paul provided. He found an electric eye valve for my old Pye radio. He sent them down for me to try, on trust, he has old fashioned values. If anyone is looking for old valves go to Paul first.

to all those traders out there, remember the days when trademe first started when you could trust most traders (kiwi's) to be honest, but not so much these days unfortuately, but this guy is still one of those guys you can trust 100%,sent me down 8 mullards nos valves, to tube roll,with no payment made to him &rolled them in my amp as he desribed them they were a beauitful sound,he's got just about every tube you can think of,or will find it for you,if he can,even from Russia,amazingly helpful.

Paul is a great person to deal with. A Futura radio being restored needed a 6A7 valve, but was very difficult to find. Luckily I came across Paul's advertisement on Trademe and inquired. To my delight, he had new (unused) valve still in the original carton. He sent it securely to me by post, and the radio is happily singing now! Thanks Paul. Highly appreciate your service to the vintage radio enthusiasts. Sarath

Paul has been a great help in finding the right values for my ears/system i have now had 5 pairs and what different a good valve makes Thanks Paul
luckyr (85 ) Thu 22 Nov

Paul supplied me with a quad of beautiful Vintage Mullard xf2's to try in my Yaqin amp. They are the most amazing tube I have used so far, it's safe to say they are staying put in the amp. Thanks Paul.

Thankyou Paul great service with exceptional communication throughout the process . I will recommend with confidence to any one searching for tubes to enhance and breath new life into the old school amplifiers as well as up grades as was the case with my spark amp , all the best regards Clive Riley.

I am a harmonica player and the problem with using guitar amps for harp is that guitars need hi gain valves in the pre amp section...not good for harp as it means you get feedback at very low volume settings on the amp, Pete sent me a selection of quality vintage low gain valves which I tried and swapped around till my amps gain was at the desired level, I can now drive my amp at a good working feedback free level. Pete's excellent service allowed me to get a harp friendly amp real easily..!!
