TUBE DEPOT BIAS SCOUT™ KIT

Build your own bias adapter with the TubeDepot Bias Scout kit and you'll save money every time you set the bias on your amp!

This kit includes all the parts to build a single octal socket TubeDepot Bias Scout. Used with a basic multimeter (Get Yours Here), the finished adapter will allow you to measure both cathode current and plate voltage of a single tube position.   Comes complete with detailed instruction booklet.  Soldering tools and soldering skills required.

Note: This adapter, as designed, will NOT test 7591 tubes.

Large mixers with VU meters often use this as the illumination lamp for the meters.   Since the meters are hard if not impossible to see if the lamp fails, it's a good idea to keep a few of these on hand!   12 Volts, 250mA, 3/4 inch long X 1/8 inch diameter.   Lead length at each end 1 inch.

Part #25-455

Our Aluminum Tube Shield Base is the perfect replacement for a damaged bayonet "twist and lock" tube socket base.  Base only - not a tube socket.    For base with socket included, see TS-9-700.  Please note, we cannot guarantee compatibility with preexisting tube shields that were installed in your amps.  However, if you have twist-lock tube shields in Fender, Orange, Peavey, or vintage Marshall amps, this base should fit. 
Part #RS-325B

Fits 6L6, EL34, 6V6 output tubes, and 5U4, 5Y3, and GZ34 rectifier tubes.   For 1-1/8" hole.  Bottom mounting (mounted from the inside of the chassis), mounting holes spaced 1 1/2" apart.   (Note:  Does not fit vintage Fenders)
Part #TS-8-250

Fits 6L6, EL34, 6V6 output tubes, and 5U4, 5Y3, and GZ34 rectifier tubes.   For 1-1/8" hole.  Top mounting (mounted from the outside of the chassis), mounting holes spaced 1 1/2" apart.   (Note:  Does not fit vintage Fenders)
Part #TS-8-300

Costs much less than a new rectifier tube, and unlike tubes, should last indefinitely.    No deterioration over time.   Doesn't generate any heat, which lowers the heat given off by the amp.   Gold pins for exceptional electrical conductivity.    Metal housing for durability.

NOTE! Because there is no warm up of a rectifier tube when using this solid state device, it is absolutely necessary that a standby switch is used in conjunction with this device.   Do not install in an amplifier that does not have a standby switch - always use the standby switch in amps so equipped when using the 5RTR.

Part #5RTR

Weber axial electrolytic 20uF/600V.   Used as the main filter capacitors in most brownface and blonde Fender™ models from 1960 through 1964.   Most models used either 6 or 7 of these capacitors.    The B+ voltage was greater than 500 volts in those designs, so the regular capacitors rated at 500V are insufficient.
