ricky,

you can use some of the following in place of your 12AU7.

6189
5963
5814
6680
ECC82

some say that 6067 and CV491 can also be used, however I haven't done that personally.

cheers

after having your r&r... from time to time in front of that hotel is a vendor with a "kariton" (he has to be mobile and haul ass anytime because of the cops) of surplus parts including 100 peso 6189 tubes - a 12au7 substitute. there, I said it again. darn it!



6189 for 100?
Sayang. I bought mine new in box several times that amount. Nagmadali kasi ako. Baliktad nangyari sakin.
At the time, namili ako ng namili ng tubes for my AMX then and for future projects na iniisip ko nuon.

That's 200/pair. FWIW, madami ng members dito at sa ibang forums ang nakabili dun since it was shared two years ago. Don't know about their status, haven't been there in a while.
