Could be. Now I just gotta pray it gets here in tact.
Tubes for BAT VK60. Need help
I’m now looking to retube a BAT VK60. I know very little about the tubes in it or which ones are most important to address first... or at all.
Any VK 60 owners with re-tubeing experiences out there?
I surely would appreciate some input on what you wound up with and why...?
Thanks so very much for the time and efforts here, as I'm lost now.

Jim, I'm a little late to the party, but in the future, you may want to consider ATSI for a matched & tested set of 6C33C-Bs. I bought my last quad there and have had really good luck (they have increased in price, though.) I believe he's the only game in town if you want matched tubes AND a 90 day guarantee. I'll also second Andy at VTS. He's very knowledgable about the VK60 and which tube will get you what you are looking for. |
THANKS FOLKS. nOT TOO LATE i DON'T THINK ACTUALLY. tHE JOINT i USED IS IN cANADA. tHEIR TESTING EQUIPMENT IS NOT DUE IN TILL NEXT WEEK SOMETIME. They say they'll match them. Kevin Deals joint shows 6c33 tubes available. Not 6c33c-b. Anyone ever have issues with these VK60s blowing fuses? or blowing them as the result of which preamp is tied to it? Especially a Thor? Thanks people... I might get this right in spite of myself with your help. |
Which fuse? The fuse on the back panel next to the power cord or one of the 4 fuses underneath the tubes? If underneath the tubes...it's likely tubes arcing and failing. That is common. New tubes and a new fuse from Radioshack. Make sure it's the same type and value. I'm pretty sure Kevin Deals 63CC tubes are really 6C33cb's. I've retubed my VK60 from him once. Tubes sounded great. If it's the main fuse. That maybe a issue somewhere, I can't comment there... john |
