Svetlana KT-88


Hello to all,

i´mlooking to change my KT-88. A german dealer is offering me Svetlana Winged C but old production from the 70´s. Does this exist? I can´t found no information about old Svetlanas KT88, inclusive if i search without writing Winged C.
Does anyone heard about this tubes?

Thank you to all,

Agustin

KT-88's are relatively difficult to manufacture and there are a lot of mediocre to bad ones being sold - people with amps that use them must be very careful. E.A.T. makes high quality KT-88's, but they are expensive (the list price for an octet was $1,400, the last time I looked).

Ghosthouse is correct: current Winged C production comes out of St. Petersburg.

I would contact Andy Bowman at Vintage Tube Services in Michigan - he is an excellent tube vendor.
