Tung-Sol 6550 reissue - precision matched

Tung-Sol 6550 reissue - premium matched
Manufacturer: Tung-Sol (reissue)
These new production Tung-Sol 6550 power tubes are based on the original type 3 Tung-Sol 6550 made in the 1960s. They have triple getters, carbonized screens, gold-plated grids, and classic coke bottle shape. This Tung-Sol reissue is manufactured in Russia by New Sensor. 
 
These tubes have been burned in, tested at typical operating voltages on a laboratory grade Amplitrex AT1000, and precisely matched for both current draw (mA) and transconductance (Gm). Learn more about our burn-in and testing process here.

Price is for a single tube and includes burn-in and standard matching service. Tubes ship in Tung-Sol retail boxes.

Precision Power Tube Matching

Our power tubes are burned in for 48 hours and tested on a laboratory grade Amplitrex AT1000 tube tester. We match tubes for both current draw (mA) and transconductance (Gm) at typical operating conditions (see #3 below) for no extra charge. We can also custom match power tubes at whatever specifications you provide (see #4 below).
