Tubes Asylum

Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

I just recieved some 5V4GA tubes that i bought off e-pay. The ad said:"It has been reported that Philips manufactured military 5V4GA and 5AR4 tubes on the same production line to 5AR4 specifications to save production costs. Subsequently they were then labeled accordingly to fill the orders for each type". However, after buy the tubes i went to TDSL & the specs are slightly different. What i would like to know is how different are they really, and should i have any concern using them in place of 5AR4? Thanks. Tom

They are quite different in appearance and internal construction. - sser2 19:13:04 10/04/06 (0)
