Default Re: PX4 substitutions

Unfortunately its not just PX4's the humble 2P are being ripped out along with 41MP's the thirst for the "Power triode" sound knows no bounds.

Unlike PX4's these valves are not being reproduced.

While there is a market those interested in a profit will take a chance on pretty much anything.

I once bought a Cossor set the pictures showed it was complete I had to carry out a 300+ mile round trip to pick it up when I arrived it was without triode. I had asked before purchase if the pictures were a true representation and all parts shown were included.

Not a pleasant experience for me or the seller who had been convinced by a smooth talker the buyer wouldn't mind it was a easy to replace part.

Now I always make sure before setting out that nothing has been removed.

Cheers
