Available in Platinum Matched Pairs, Quads, Sextet or even Octet Sets!!!

The platinum matching process consists of a 24 hour tube burn-in period followed by a bias (plate) current measurement in milliamps.

In September of 1950 Tung-Sol introduced the 5881, an uprated and industrial version of the 6L6GA with a 23.5 watt plate dissipation, opening the doors to the hi-fi movement of the 1950s. This rugged tube also found a home in the '59 Fender Bassman and servo amplifiers used in B-52 bombers. In 1955 Tung-Sol raised the bar of high fidelity with the introduction of the 35 watt 6550, which could deliver 100 watts with a pair in push-pull configuration. This tube was used in the Dynaco Mark III and Sunn amplifers.

Copy of the original type 3 Tung-Sol 6550 made in the 1960’s. Triple getter, carbonized screen, and gold plated grid. The current production benchmark of the classic 6550.
