Anyone buy from Radio Daze?

Post by PBWilson »

I found out that a NOS tube seller was just 20 minutes away from my house. Radio Daze http://www.radiodaze.com/ mostly caters to the old-tyme radio builders and owners, but they have good prices on Hammond transformers and encloures and I wouldn't have to pay for shipping.

They say that they also have over 1/2 million tubes in stock and I'd like to try some NOS.

Anyone buy from them? Good/bad/ugly? How are they about returns? I'm especially interested in this because I'd like to build a EF86 amp and don't want to be stuck with microphonic tubes. (If that is possible at all.)

Howdy-
I've been buying from Radio-Daze for about 2 years now; no complaints
and super service. They sell 1 watt resistors and caps in many values we find handy at good prices. The only caveat (for internet shoppers) is that they
don't have a secure cart setup so you have to call them with credit card info.
I bought several GE 5 star 6005/6AQ5W NOS for $5.00US each from them
recently; I wouldn't hesitate to buy from them again; so much the better if you're close enough to visit them!
Hope this helps.

I have had good experiences with them.

I bought some 6SC7 GT's from them a while back. They turned out to be microphonic in my 49 Fender Deluxe, I called them and they took them back no questions asked.

Since then I have bought a few things from them with no problems at all. They were the only place I could find some long shafted pots for an project amp. An Octal Fatness in an old radio cabinet

Good to know. Thanks for the info.

BTW, that Octal Fatness is the coolest! I've got to keep my eye out for something half as cool looking. 8)
