New 6Sl7

[GregS]

I was under the impression that 6SL7 tubes were no longer being made and that only old stock and used were available. However, I just noticed that Sovtek seems to be making new ones. Does anyone have any experience with these new Sovtek 6SL7's or know of other sources of new 6SL7's?

Thanks,
Greg

I found this on Tube Depot.

Thanks Terry, that's very helpful.

Some of the NOS options from that page in the link are also attractive - the ones that aren't ridiculously expensive like $19.95 per tube. If the NOS tube is more durable and will last significantly longer then it makes sense to me.

Good deal, glad it helped.
I have ordered a lot of stuff from them.
If you need anything else and can order over $99 worth, shipping is free.
I built most of an amp from their parts.

I've used the Tung Sol reissues. They sound really good even compared to NOS.

I have been using the Tungsol 6SL7 tubes for about a year now in several vintage amps (Ampeg M12, etc.) with good results.
