In Reply to: I am being offered the following NOS tubes: 211, WE 394, RCA 8005 and RCA 1619 posted by pastito on October 8, 2004 at 13:54:31:
I dont know about the others as they are obscure. Obviously you have
found someone with an RF transmission background. Besides the obvious, other fine tubes you ought to be on the lookout for:
801, 10, 845, VT52, 45, 245. For Mercury rectification: 816, 866,
836 and possibly the 575 and 872. For input and driver tubes:
12 and 6J5, SN7, 6F8, 6P5,I must say that NOS 211s, especially if you can obtain a sizeable
personal stash, would be a compelling reason for you to spend some
serious money to acquire output transformers and PSU components.A 211 should never ever be your first project. Build something first,
400V or so, and when you have it working and have learned from the
experience, that is the only time to entertain the 211... If you
had, let say, 8 NOS 211s, I see no reason not to drop some money on
some serious output iron. Good transformers for the 211 would run
you about USD$600 to perhaps $1000 for a pair of crazy insane
amorphous cores.-- Jim
