New Tung - Sol KT - 150 Output Tube

[Hugh's Wattwerx]

Drat! Looks like a great tool, but I'm 64-bit.

If I wanted to build a single-ended application of 20-25W, can anyone tell me the ideal OT impedance, plate, and screen voltages? Thanks.

If you can use a 32-bit Windows OS then John Broskie's SE CAD is only $9.95:

One of the best deals on the planet for the SE DIYer!

When they say that the New Sensor Tung-Sols are built with original Tung-Sol tooling, prove it. When was it shipped to China?

Maybe tools made from the original prints? You gotta figure the original tooling was made into razor blades a long time ago.

I may actually try to put together a 32-bit system from my parts bin just to run this!

In the meantime, if I'm understanding ValveWizard's analysis correctly, 330V with a 2500 OT (which I happen to have on hand) would do that trick -- or should I use a bit higher impedance?

Thanks again,

Joe

TUBECADSE works under windows 7 32 bit!!

Whoever manufactures and labels New Sensor Tung-Sols, will soon, if not already, sell them under some other label.

When they say that the New Sensor Tung-Sols are built with original Tung-Sol tooling, prove it. When was it shipped to China?

Where does it say the new production is built with original tooling? Show me where please. And the Tung-Sol current production is not made in China, it is made in Saratov, Russia in the Xpo-Pul production plant.

There are a number of areas where New Sensor can and should be criticized. And if buying up and using the old classic names bothers you that's certainly understandable. But what you posted is way off base.

And now with the latest developments in the Russia / Ukraine situation, The US plans to impose sanctions on Russia for invading the Ukraine. Could this stop our tube supply? Stock up now!

The Shuguang plant better be ready for the increased demand

We're planning for a tour to St Petersburg in May (if I still am on leave from jobs) - I can carry home a big bag of tubes for you and sell you at a black market prace ..

I read on the news that the sanctions won't affect business and trade. So hopefully we'll be good for a while

The Russian made Electro-Harmonix 6922 are a key piece of my fledgling business as I use them in my Budgie phono preamps. Funny how these international politics can affect little ol' me. The Slovakian made JJ 6922s just don't cut the mustard. Just tested them last week as a fallback just in case.

Not to worry.

Russia will sell them to Iran. Iran will sell them to N. Korea. N. Korea will sell them to China. China will sell them to Canada. Geek corners the market and sets up a distribution center in the Caymens and retires to watch W.I cricket from Barbados. Putin stays happy and visits Geek cricket bat in one hand and Pina Colada in the other.

My financial planner has spoken!

Simply a Chinese tube copying the Tung-Sol brand name and packaging. Some shyster evidently bought the rights to the Tung-Sol name. If such tubes were any good, why would they peddle them under an old, bona-fide U.S. brand name, instead of their own?
