Svetlana Electron Devices, St. Petersburg:
The Svetlana winged C is a major Russian power-tube manufacturer. Formerly a part of the huge Svetlana collective factory. The valves that we stock under the Svetlana/winged C are the original items made by the JSC Svetlana Company that owns and operates the Svetlana factory in St. Petersburg, Russia.
This factory has a long history of making valves and transmitting valves .In fact have been making vacuum tubes for over 100 years.
These valves have constantly topped not only our own valve reviews but also in audio and guitar reviews the world over. They offer some of the best sounding types available today.
Hard to find Russian military EL519 made by the original Svetlana winged C factory for the Russian government.They are marked with the type number 6P45C and CCCP. They are a special long life version that was made use in Russian tanks. Special features were that they were vibration proof with double supported getter, clamped thick mica with four side internal supports.
These are old production military EL519 were also uprated with a 35 watt plate dissipation when compared to the Mullard Philips EL519 of 30 watts.
The valves were selected to the OEM specification to provide 80 m/a of current with a tolerance of +/- 10% with the negative grid bias of between -32 and -48 vdc. Valves that met this criteria were put into match pairs and quads to allow easy installation into production amplifiers
It is unlikely that this will ever be produced again .These are old production date from 1986 and are all from the same selected batch. This will be our last stock of genuine EL519 that have been tested and selected this way.
We have these in Matched Pairs and Quads
