looking to get a ge 6072

 

[Soundmind??]

There are numerous tube dealers on the net, do a google search. Cost will be probably $10-20 USD.

i did the google thing but im looking for a dealer people have had an experience with.
the cost of a 1960's ge 6072 is $85.00.

WOW! Didn't know they were that odd. Don't know who to recommend, haven't done any tube business in a while. Sorry!

Edit: sorry, doesn't look like there are any on the sight. Also look for 12AY7's. Same tube as a 6072 if I'm not mistaken. You might wanna just call that guy cause he's super nice and might actually have some or know where to get them.

Sorry about the double post.

Here's a JAN NOS for 20 bucks: http://www.tubedepot.com/nos-12ay7.html

I'm looking for these tubes myself. Anybody know how JAN compares to GE/JAN?

thanks guys!
i see the ge 5 star blackplates are a bit higher in $$ than the ge non 5 star black plates. ($45 compares to $20)
is there a sonic difference betweeen the 2? what is the diff between the 5 star and the plain blackplate? what does the 5 star mean?

...as I stated in the earlier thread (link is listed above):

"...to the best of my knowledge, the 5-Star tubes were GE's consumer/commercial marketed brand, whiles the others were military issue (like the JG and JAN "white-box" versions)...other than that I believe the tubes are of similar quality..."
