About the Tube
The VT-60 is a military-grade, ruggedized version of the 807 beam-power tetrode, distinguished by its higher-quality, white ceramic base. This ceramic base offers superior insulation compared to the standard 807’s molded plastic or micanol base, especially in humid or high-altitude conditions.
