A voltage regulator gas tube with current upto 250mA!!! Almost 11 inches long, with a Z700U on top of it. My biggest & smallest cold-k tubes.

Secondary emission used to create better linearity: 26A7. Works off 26.5V, audio power output and probably relay use for plane systems.

28D7 28V supply curves, it's intended working range. So ugly, it's beautiful ❤️

Need to change my tubes
I have a blackstar HT club 50 and I need to replace my tubes, I have never done this before and I was wondering if I should use the stock tubes from blackstar or if there are better tubes I should get. Does anyone have any input?

28D7: Fulfilled a role of a transistor before they existed.

20P3 & 10P13. Same cathode and grids apparently, but look at the difference :) 20P3 is a gorgeous tube in person.

Vacuum Tube TV - How would I find someone who can use this?
Sorry if this is not the right subreddit for this. I will delete the post if it is not. My wife has an old TV from the late 60's or early 70's that uses vacuum tubes. See pics here: https://imgur.com/a/VPHHIYd . Almost all of the tubes light up when it is plugged in but the picture tube does not show anything. Does anyone know of any kind of old technology clubs or groups near Kansas City that would have any use for something like this? Should I just try to sell the tubes on ebay? How would I test to see which are good? I hate to just junk it if there is someone that could make use of it or the parts.

Question about mullard tubes
Just got a pair mullard m8100’s in the mail, put them in my little dot mk II and one of the tubes has horrible static, if I switch the tubes the static follows to the other side. Does this mean that the tube is dead or is it fixable?

After the rebuild with McShane kits. I bought this and the Citation 1 at a yard sale a couple decades ago for $8.00. Feel free to hate me.

Late 70’s SVT. Six 6550 power tubes!

My father retired after 43 years working for the same company and he is a great dad... So I made him this SET amp based on the Mikael Abdellah KT88 circuit.
