Description Hire Charges Delivery

These 1950s electronic valves (vacuum tubes) represent the golden age of early electronics, just before the transistor took over. Large, glass-bodied, and faintly industrial, they were the beating heart of radios, amplifiers, televisions, and lab gear of the era. Warm-glowing filaments inside provided both charm and function, making them instantly recognisable as “old tech.”

With their chunky bases, etched numbers, and fragile glass envelopes, these valves are perfect as set dressing for period labs, workshops, or mid-century home electronics. They embody the moment when electronics was still glowing, humming, and a little bit mysterious.
