[Jukebox-list] What's the right Vacuum Tube

[James Alexander]

Hello Mr and Mrs Robertson:  
For some reason, my correspondence is being "screened" from the jukebox mailing list by the site administrator and I can't figure out why.  Hopefully you'll get this reply. 
RE: vacuum tubes
There are no tube manufacturers in the U.S. any longer.  Most of the international products being offered are of good quality.   Brands to look for are Sovtek, Electro Harmonix, Ruby, JJ/Tesla, and Tung-Sol.   It is probably a good idea to steer clear of any tube brands that show they are made in China.   All the above names come from other countries.  These companies are all offering audio tubes that will fit the amplifier section of your Seeburg. 
The selection receiver chassis of your Seeburg R uses a # 2050 tube, which is not made by any of these companies. That tube is not needed (leave the socket empty) unless you plan to use the remote wall-box function of your jukebox.        If you need to buy a 2050 tube, you will need to find old American made stock. (former US manufacturers are RCA, GE, Sylvania,etc)   Most of the US distributors serving the classic jukebox hobby, along with some electronics parts houses that have old stock could help you with this.
Hope this helps,
Jim Alexander
