NOS 6550 matched Sextet- Any leads??

[rodsf]

Yea, I know. Does anyone have any idea of someone/somewhere that I might find a sextet of matched NOS 6550/6550a power tubes. (Made in the USA- GE or other). I've looked everywhere with no luck…(sad face).
Thanks, Rod

Whatever it is, it must be loud. And Heavy.

For a reasonably price, no.

Tube Depot indicates it has GE, Sylvania, and Tung Sol 6550s. I don't know if they can provide a matched sextet.

I just checked there, too. I entered qty 6 and checked the "matching" box and the user interface didn't complain. Almost five grand, though...

For an SVT?

I've been sitting on a brand new sextet of Fender-branded GT6550Rs since the pandemic. Bought them for $150. I knew they'd never be that cheap again. Not the quality of NOS American tubes but I don't have that kind of cash, especially since my SVT only gets played on special occasions. I'm sure they will sound great when it is time to retube.
