Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

Find an old Tektronix Ocilloscope...

The bigger ones have 20 or more of these and usually different brands in the same scope. Find one that works or at least powers up. I had one with Telefunken E88CC's, Orange Globe A-Frames, and bugle boys inside...You can sometimes find them on Ebay locally and save yourself shipping $$$ (things weigh 60-80 lbs.) Look at your sellers feedback for any signs of tube trading in the past and if so, move on, the good stuff is gone. They don't always test perfectly, but I have a VERY, VERY large collection of VERY VIABLE DJ8 types, mostly scope pulls. This is a HUGE trade secret here, use it and you owe me one...but please no more 6DJ8's ;)
Search the BAMA site type in your prospective model number and you can look at the actual tube complement in the particular scope before bidding. So for about a $100 or less (with some luck), you can conceivably acquire a few flavors to try out. Just my 2 cents...PS...Tektronix Scopes almost invariably contain European 6DJ8's.
