Hi Walter, you aren't the only one who prizes those rectifiers .... RCA-branded Mullard GZ34/5AR4 with $89 BIN onlyWalter Broes said:... If they're doing a GZ34 of the same quality as "the real thing", I'm stocking up!
Huh, how much voltage drop do you get new vs. old, I wonder. If it wasn't for the rattling part, that would possibly be a way to drop voltages back to design specs.Walter Broes said:I'd spend $100 on one of those NOS though - they'll last at least ten years if you don't throw your amps around. (and supply healthier voltages than current GZ34's, my tech tells me.)
Nice find! Any chance they are the fabled black plates? Ribbed grey-plates not too shabby either.Walter Broes said:... I found two RC 12AX7 in an old, non-working (and nto about to be resurrected..) tape recorder yesterday.
