For sale is an EL85 / 6BN5 audio output pentode valve / vacuum tube by Mullard, tested, no faults and working at about 80% of nominal new emission.

The EL85 is the baby brother of the incredibly popular EL84, much used in hi-fi and small guitar amplifiers and many older valve radios. The EL85 was more aimed at small high quality amplifiers, TV and radio sets. It is also specified as an RF power amplifier at up to 120MHz!

This particular example is in fair, clean condition for its age, though the original markings are somewhat faded.

TERMS

GUARANTEE: In case of dissatisfaction, buyer must return item at own expense. We will only refund if you return the EXACT SAME VALVE / TUBE to us that you have purchased, with the heater still intact and passing continuity test. Believe it or not, some evil people have tried to send us back their dud tubes to try and get a full refund for a perfectly good tube we have just sold them! So, refund is a genuine offer, but at our discretion that we have been sent back what we actually sold you in the first place and you have not destroyed it through misuse!

PAYMENT: We accept Paypal, cheques in GBP, UK postal orders / bank drafts or wire transfers. Please CONTACT US FIRST before sending payment by a method other than PayPal - there will be a delay in shipping while we clear your payment if you pay using these other methods. We are happy for you to collect from Bristol, but will require payment in GBP cash on collection.
