This listing is for a single (
1) NEW NOS 6E5 tube. Fast shipping is my goal, but as always, USPS can be slow sometimes. I generally ship within a day or 2 of payment.
I test every 6E5 I sell on a Hickok 600A to verify proper operation of the open / close feature and more than ample brightness; these are exceptionally bright sharp tubes.
Just check my feedback (some examples below) to see how my customers and repeat customers love this 6E5. I have sold over 1400 of these tubes, both wholesale and retail. A superb replacement for the weak, fading signal strength indicator in your radio, capacitor checker or signal tracer.
When restoring or repairing a vintage radio the magic eye tuning indicator tube often needs replacement. This is a brand new TOYO brand 6E5 tube, sometimes called a "6E5 eyelid tube", "cat's eye tube" or “magic eye tube”.
If the tube fails within 120 days of receipt, you may return it for a refund at my expense.
The tube is stocked in upstate NY and will ship to you within a few business days of receipt of payment. Warranty replacements, in the rare case of one arising, will be shipped in the same prompt manner.
I have owned a professional electronic service business for over 50 years and know that just like any other facet of the business, vintage or antique radio repair needs a reliable replacement part source.

Can I use this 6E5 to replace other magic eye tubes?
6E5S / 6E5C / 6E5G: This tube
will not replace 6E5S / 6E5C / 6E5G without a socket adapter or replacement of the socket in your radio. 6U5: If this tube is used to replace a 6U5, due to the sensitivity of the 6E5 vs the relative lack of sensitivity of the 6U5, you will experience excessive closure and overlap on very strong stations. It
will NOT replace 1629; wrong number of pins and different filament voltage. These are really
bright sharp eye tubes. Just check my feedback to see how past customers love this TOYO 6E5. A superb replacement for the weak, failing signal strength indicator in your radio.
