One new-old-stock 17JZ8 valve. A triode pentode on a Dekar 12-pin Compactron base. No friendly equivalent.

Two available (one Realistic, one Teonex). Message me if you want more than one, so I can send you an offer. Multiple purchase discounts apply, except where the 'best offer' option is used.

Please note all valves I sell are individual valves; they might not be matched, and are never sold as such.

This valve has been tested using a 'Superior Instruments Model TW-11' valve testing unit, and has passed both the shorting and qualitative tests. 

Meter picture is a stock photo, intended only to illustrate that the valve has been tested, and should not be interpreted as indicative of actual test results.

Any questions please ask, I will do my best to answer.

International bidders - you are most welcomed, but you MUST either wait for an invoice, as postage cost varies with location and method (expect between $15 and $43 AUD usually), or ask for a price first. Postage from Australia is one of the world's most expensive - please do not ask to cancel a sale because you didn't ask about postage first! I will only post to the address listed on eBay and-or PayPal. Any import duties, levies, fees, etc, that may be imposed by the destination country, are the sole responsibility of the buyer, and no, I will not falsify the documents. Insurance and tracking are heavily encouraged on all international postage. Cheaper uninsured untracked postage is available; my packaging is excellent, but if it gets lost or damaged in transit, on your head be it, I will not be liable.


Please visit my eBay store. Combined postage is welcomed. Generally it costs about the same to send ten valves as it does one, except where it involves some of the huge ancient metallised ones. Asking first is safest.

Perhaps you have a 'want list' of valves - message me, I may be able to help. Hundreds yet to be listed, with more stock arriving all the time.
