New Tung-Sol KT120 output tube
Mike Matthews of New Sensor has just announced that New Sensor will be carrying the new Tung-Sol KT120 output tube. These new tubes are plug compatible with KT88 and 6550 tubes and may be used in any application that uses KT88 or 6550 tubes. As I write this these tubes are not as yet officially on the New Sensor web site. Look for a retail price of about $50 - $65 per tube or maybe even a little more. In an Email sent to dealers he stated ...
"In September of 1950 Tung-Sol introduced the 5881, an uprated and industrial version of the 6L6GA with a 23.5 watt plate dissipation, opening the doors to the hi-fi movement of the 1950s. This rugged tube also found a home in the '59 Fender Bassman and servo amplifiers used in B-52 bombers. In 1955 Tung-Sol raised the bar of high fidelity with the introduction of the 35 watt 6550, which could deliver 100 watts with a pair in push-pull configuration. This tube was used in the Dynaco Mark III and Sunn amplifers.
New Sensor now announces the Tung-Sol KT120, which has a plate dissipation of 60 watts, making it the most powerful tube in the 6550/KT88/KT90 family. A pair of these tubes in push-pull configuration can deliver power levels of 150 or more watts. When used at the parameters found in existing 6550/KT88/KT90 circuits, the Tung-Sol KT120 is impervious to overload, delivering peak power with extreme reliability and long tube life. However, taking advantage of the higher current handling capacity of these tubes, a very unique and super powerful and stable amp can be designed using the Tung-Sol KT-120."
