The PHILCO Phorum

I had sent an email to Bob some time back requesting some tubes. I heard nothing so I called. Then I got the tubes straight away. Perhaps the email system leaves a bit to be desired.

I did call and spoke to a nice lady. Haven't heard back. Not really important, just fyi.

I think that the small filament/cathode leads to a short life in these tubes especially since it is operated at a low temperature - dull red, or no glow at all.

Wanted to update: After 6 weeks, I never heard back from FAT regarding new 1L6s. I suspect that this means that they don't have any.
