It might not be what you think it is....

"IMPORTED" printed on the glass implies that Mullard didn't make it. And while the picture doesn't provide a lot of detail, I suspect that this is a GZ32 made by La Radiotechnique (RTC) in France.

Good luck!

You are correct and was sold as such.
Mullard/La Radio Technique/Dario Miniwatt GZ32/5V4G/CV593 NOS.
Branded Mullard but made by La Radio Technique/Dario Miniwatt.

Hey,

I probably do, but mine are untested.

I recall a few GZ32's in my lot.

I have an Ebay account with recent feedback, and get good international postage rates.

Thanks

Anyone else have one? Waiting for delivery from Germany.

Here's a couple of pictures of my Miniwatt-Dario GZ32. Made in France .

I wish! But I do have 9 of them, and a number of others that are not in her list.

But the pictures are back!

I don't have to purchase too many rectifier tubes based on this list. Really appreciate the efforts of the author.

This used to be about 10 bucks. I could be wrong.

Not anymore if it was.

Buy the Sofia or look at an NOS of some kind? What’s the best $200 rectifier out there?

I picked up a pair of NOS Mullard GZ32's from a dealer in Canada to try in a Lampi dac for many times more than $10. Listenable to be sure, but I prefer the GEC KT66 and Tesla EL51 in my (speaker) set up. Anyone want my Mullards, feel free to make contact. I don't think they even have 400 hrs.

You can score nice Brimar 5R4GY for $200 or less. If you’re patient you can find real deal GEC U52’s for around $200 used.

I own a couple 596 rectifiers how much are they going for these days?

Instead of going with the Sofia tube I opted for a Brimar 5Z4G and a Mullard GZ37. Got them for less than what the Sophia would have cost.

Checking eBay, one recently sold for $169 and another for $296. But being as I am a good guy, I'll offer you $100 total for both of yours.

Here is a couple of pictures of a Cossor 53KU/GZ37 fat bottle that I bought late last year. The measurements read just below new old stock. It's been lightly used but should still have plenty of life ahead of it. This tube came from a Parisian audiophile who was going through the collection they had built up over the years. I don't know if the pictures can do justice and show the tubes true condition. It's super clean and one of the best used tubes I've purchased.

Well done! That is an absolute Fantastic tube. Enjoy
