Of course you can check with SpareTimeGizmos and see IF they have any boards left. But I'd say, an almost as big problem is obtaining sockets for PCB-mount and tubes. |

Spare Time Gizmo is out of the boards. I got an email a while back from them asking for sources of the 6T9 tubes as there is not point of making more boards if tubes are hard to come by. Pointed him to the various sources people had noted on here but as Magnus noted, finding 6T9 tubes seems to be a bit of an issue. |

You might consider contacting Spare Time Gizmos to ask them for there board files. If they were willing to let them go you may be able to have them custom made for you. Just a thought. |

Slightly off topic: Noticed a few years ago that tubes like 12B4A and 1626 were to be found everywhere and were sold cheaply, and so was 6T9. But suddenly when demand increased prices went up. I saw this in Russia as well. When AML published schematics for the Priboi amp rebuild, where he used 6N1P, prices for that tube went from 50 c to 5 $ on the electronic market outside St Petersburg. |

Just a thought. That didn't work!!!  I sent an email this morning to the STG folks. No go on the Gerber files. At least I tried.

On the other hand, if you can grab a pair of 6T9s and sockets it is so easy to build an amplifier the traditional way. |

Hello, I have 8 of the Spare Time Gizmo PCBs and the tube sockets to go with them if anyone wants one. J. P. |
