what's the deal on Bogen by Mullard EF86's, made in great britain. Is it an NOS , is it a good tube? thanks It's a great tube. It is just a Mullard screened Bogen ... a hifi and audio company in the past. This was quite common where folks like Realistic, Dynaco, Fisher, had their name on the tubes from the tube maker. Heck ... even today GT screens KT88s for MacIntosh for their amps with the MacIntosh logo. It is a Mullard EF86 ... great tube.

Thanks Myles, so would it be safe to say they run about 60.00 like the mullard ef86 on KCA's site? I can get them on a trade and don't want to stiff the guy by not being fair. BTW, he's sending them to me to try out and then we'll decide trade. pretty cool!!!

On the other hand .... sorry you got bitten by the bug and have more options now. But.... On one foot .... it will tap more often and on the other foot .... well, you will actually save a bit of money as the great EF86 tubes last WAAAYYYYYYY longer than current production variants.
