KT88 power tube reissue of Genalex Gold Lion. Made in Russia.
In 1957 Marconi-Osram Valve Co. (Genalex) introduced the "King of Power Tubes", the legendary Gold Lion KT88. This tube became the heart and soul of such classics as the Dynaco Mark III, McIntosh MC275, and Marshall Major. Unfortunately, Genalex ceased tube production in the early 1980s and the Genalex Gold Lion KT88 has become very expensive and hard to find.
After extensive research and engineering, New Sensor Corp. has
reissued the famed Genalex Gold Lion KT88. This tube has been recreated
down to the finest detail with gold plated grid wire, carbonized screen
grids, and a tri-alloy clad plate structure for exceptional performance
and sound quality.
kt88 can be used in place of 6550 tubes.
