There was a thread here and now I can't find it. I think Myles posted a link to a tube vendor that had NOS Tesla EF86 for about $30 US. The tubestore which is a business in the town where I work has some NOS Tesla EF86 from Chec republic that are going for the same price. I just wanted to see if these were the same tubes.

Yes ... that is the place ... and he still has them at $30 which is dirt cheap.

I just got one from him a week ago, didn't get around to trying it until tonight. Put it in my Z28, maybe my Dario miniwatt is a lil more worn in, but I find the tesla ef86 from doug's tubes a touch brighter than the miniwatt, which isn't a bad thing at all, just a hint brighter. Overall I like the tesla. I'm no tube expert, but it seems to me to sound great, very alive, punchy, articulate, if you could describe a tube that way. Much better than the cheaper sovtek back ups I bought a while ago.
A steal at $30 a pop if you ask me.
Edit: And dead quite as far as noise issues go!

I have waited for him to raise the price to what other folks charge for stuff like this but it seems that he is sticking to his original price.

Part of my order, along with the tesla ef86, was a quad of =C= el34's for my traynor ygl3, which were also the best price I could find. I will definitely be buying from doug's tubes again.

If you ever end up speaking to Doug you will find him to be a really great guy. I have been dealing with him for more than seven years.
