I'm pricing a replacement tube - 25L6. Radio Daze lists it at 8.50 but has a 25L6GT/25W6 for 4.00. What is the difference in price? What does the GT indicate?
Thanks,
Ryan

GT stands for Glass Tube. Some tubes came in a metal casing. Only those that did were dignified by GT.

Pricing varies from place to place. I find that the more pricey tubes like the one you're looking at, offer either NOS (new old stock), or used but guaranteed (?) good. Either way, most companies offer you a guarantee you will not receive a dud, and you'll have a tube with good life. If you're in the midewest, look up N9TEW radio tube sales. He's never done me wrong, prices are reasonable, and I've bought alot of tubes from him in the past.
