Something came to my mind. Probably most of you already guessed I'm using bases from locktal tubes for the C3g adapters. So the question question is does anyone have some spent C3g tubes. I have 2 tubes but they are already meant for a very special pair of EL3 to C3g adapters.

You can get Loktal tubes fron this guy for $1 each but you have to buy 10.
Tube numbers like 7A5 , 7E6 , 7E7.
Don't know what the shipping is to Bulgaria but I am sure his shipping will be cheaper then if I sent them to you.

Yes but C3g has gold plated pins. Otherwise I'm still managing to find defective locktal tubes.

I took a sabbatical from Head-Fi and would have been away still had Gkar not pm me.

GEC 6as7g are way too expensive now, regardless of the holy grail tag. WE 421A are equally as expensive.

That pair of GEC 6as7g which I sold to you for $500 I thought was outrageously expensive but this one tube alone, the seller is asking for $419.

Fortunately for me I'm very happy using my 6bx7gt. I'm not even using my GEC 6080, Bendix 6080wb and Tung Sol 5998.

Wow I bought my pair for that price a few months ago.

I will be shipping @Gkar a OTL next week that is why he is asking you questions.
I think you told him to buy it thanks!!!!!

I have many new useless Loktal tubes but no bad C3g.

The thing is they never where used here en mass

They were in the USA and Russia used quite a few.

My pleasure Glenn. I have many people asking me about the OTL amp and I told them, 'Just get it' ! but the queue is several continents away now.

Gkar had no idea he's getting his amp next week so he'll be over the moon.

He knows. He is going on holiday now like everyone else in Germany it is August Holiday in Europe July in US.
I know you are in the middle of winter now.

I'm not sure about Russia. At my day job I'm a technician at russian SAM site and they don't really like using import parts ( copied yes but no imports )

I'm right smack in Winter now and I could do with more tube amp warmth. But then zero degrees is probably nothing to you but it's really cold for me.

I was going to ask you to make me a pair of EL32 to c3g adapters. Looks like you're out of c3g loctal base.

I'll have to use one of my noisy pair.

No I'm NOT. I wanted to try out some gold plated ones.

Ah I see I'll pm you to make a pair of EL32 to c3g adapters then.

@UntilThen just say the word and I'll make them.

As I was tube rolling the first day, this combo really floored me, those C3g tubes are no joke! Very transparent with great dynamics from the 6BX7s.

It's 5:30am and I'm still using the c3gs and 6bx7s. This is an obsession.
