I'm in the process of restoring a Johnson 6&2 transmitter. I need a 5894 final amp tube. Anyone have one they would part with?
Tnx

That tube sounds familiar. Didn't some Siltronix gear also use it?

I've got an old Siltronix in a box, somewhere. I'll check. If memory serves, I think the tube is an 8950 or something close to that. If it wasn't so heavy, I'd send you the whole thing.

Don't tell the audiophools about that tube, and by that I mean she's got some nice curves.
