Tube Amp Archive

Here is my storage box...perfect for holding tubes. Got it at Lowes or Home Depot. Has a clear plastic locking top. Very strong.

Thanks Selloutr, Good advice on the amp buying. Around here you never find a Champ for less than $250. In the past I have got them for $100 but that was many years ago. I have been lucky in all the amps I have bought/restored and sold only a 1957 Silvertone cost me much to get up and running. It nee...

I pulled all the tubes from a Conn organ siting in an appliance graveyard. It had about 96 RCA cleartop 12au7 that the audio guys go nuts for. Kept what I could use, sold the rest.
