Is there any way you could do 1 shipment to the US and let us distribute them here?  It seems crazy to pay $40 for each box to the US when you could pay for that once and then it would cost under $10 per package.
 
If you could do that then I would be in for 2.

 
 
Looking for backup?  David is great guy, I can vouch for him.

 
I stand behind him as well...

Aw, shucks, SO.  Now you are making me blush...
 
Fortunately, I have comes across so few people who love this hobby who aren't trustworthy.

I've been so fortunate over the years in this hobby with stuff - gifted, extraordinary deals and such - any loss is likely to be minimal in the big scheme of things (over time). And dare say, could almost be expected.

This sounds very familiar.

This sounds very familiar.

Clayton could loan us his much used backpack for tube transportation..

Just bought a used WA6 with Princess 274b and PDPS.  It's a little tarnished/less shiny than the ones I see pics of here,
but it sure sounds great with the NOS 6DE7's I picked up.  Have also been trying a Amperex 5AR4 that is a bit more forward
but has a great width to the soundstage.   Reading my way through this thread, but only up to page 310 right now.
Hibuck......

 
I've had one of those for almost 5 years, and I was the first to add the Pseudo Dual Power Supply to a WA6 when it first came out.  It's a great little amp.

 What's the story with the tube with wires connected to the the top -- Is that the 596?   Is there a name that refers to that type of tube?     
 
Also, is that the rectifier tube? (is it for the power supply?)
 
Thanks!

That's the UEC 596 rectifier tube. It's a rectifier

FYI. 596 Group Buy is now over. thanks everyone!

Those are anode wires connecting to the grid cap. Lower powered tubes usually have this construction internally, as opposed to external wiring. The USAF-596 is a powerful compact rectifier, and the external anode construction allows for more power in a smaller package; higher gain; better operation at higher frequency.
 
Additionally, designers had the foresight to include the "Cool factor" for later generations...

 
If I misstated the facts, anyone, please correct me at once!

Congrats! What color Woo?

 
For maintenance/restoration, you can use water based metal cleaner/polisher like "Twinkle." Perhaps, $6 on AMZN...
