Hi all just wondered if anyone has or knows where I could get one of these Brimar ECC82 / 12AU7's . . . I've not seen the same construction before and it looks to have a double anode plate (or something!)  Any help much appreciated. Cheers |

Interesting. Thought I would have a look at my limited stock, I have 2 chinese 12AU7 with the same construction.
They are called mica's, looking closer the top one is holding the assembly central in the glass envelope whilst the bottom of the two just appears to be supporting the triode elements.

Cheers Al, that is interesting indeed, like I say never seen anything like it . . . . Might be interesting to compare them at some point. I'm rather liking the sound of this Brimar, hence my search for a backup. |

I'll send one of these down to you for you to try out.
I don't expect it will bother the Brimar much.

I thought I had a couple of Brimars, not too sure if they were exactly the same, can't find them so maybe I didn't. What I do have are a couple of Phillips JAN 6189's spare, I'm using two in my Yaqin and it sounds ok. Send me your address if you want them.

I'm not actually sure but I may actually already have one of them myself in a box I seem to remember! Will have a check and if I can't find them I'll give yours a go if that's okay. Will let you know, Cheers |
