UL41 Valves

[Nick]

There are two 'military grade' new UL41s on eBay from different sellers at £119.90 & £129.00 each at the moment

That's for 10 pieces, i.e. about 12 quid each which seems the going rate for NOS CV1977s.

There's no traction for these in the audio market that I know of, I suspect that prices will always creep up due to the lack of any new manufacturing.

The last block of 10 of these I bought about 4 years was about 50 quid ISTR. Langrex (who I quite like) are selling NOS Philips Miniwatt UL41s for 13 quid (+P&P).

If you want madness, look at some of the rarer nixie tubes. GR-414/GR-411/CD47 (when they can be found) are over 1000 euros each, i.e. for a single tube - 12 years ago there were just over 100 euros a piece...
