popsy,
Yes sorry about that. I hadn't been in touch with that seller for at least seven years. I think that when he started selling, he had over 10,000,but they were sold quickly and became expensive.
However, there were many, many made, a lot of them still in Eastern Eurpoe /Russia and the fact that modern production has improved means there are still Tungsrams that are reasonable:
1x Tungsram E88CC RED LABEL NOS > GBP 10.99 Approximately US $16.70

> and there are others in the $30 range, and a pair for $44. So they seem to still be good value, they might make a budgie sing. Of course, I haven't compared them to current production which must be very good as many E88CC I checked are less expensive than a few years ago. The premium models and E188cc /7308 can be very costly still.
Cheers,

just bought a quad for $48 plus shipping from Bulgaria so we shall see :)
popsy,I did notice some very good prices from Bulgaria and $12 each is amazing- less than I paid ten years ago.
Let me know how you like them. I felt these were close to the sound and noise level of mid 60's white label (the red label are the premium ones) Valvo E188CC (7308) and so far (3 years) none of the 6- Tungsram in the SP10 show any signs of problems.
Cheers,Bambi B
