45 Tubes and 5R4GYS Rectifiers
« on: 17 Nov 2015, 12:28 pm »
I just sold my Welborne DRD45s so I have some tubes to offer up.

 
3 Vintage RCA 45s.
I am not sure of the total hours on them, but they sounded great in my DRDs.

Asking $65 each, or $150 for all 3... All 3 SOLD

I also have two new Philips 5R4GYS Made in Holland rectifiers… Retail : $99/each (Cryogenically Treated @ $8 per tube by Upscale Audio)
(These replace GZ34/5AR4)
I purchase these from Upscale this past January and would guess they have about 150 hours on them.

Asking $60 each, or $100 for the pair... Rectifier Tubes SOLD

Hey Pete,

PM returned.

Pete asked a great question, he wondered what shape my 45s are.
They are the ST shape and are dated from the late 1950's.
I will upload a few better pics and confirm exact vintage when I get home from work today.

Here are a few pics of the 3: 45s.

No date for the back up, in the RCA box.

The matched pair that came from TC Tubes, have dates of 1950 and 1953 noted on their white boxes.
