Matchat par New old stock rör från 60- talet. Jag har köpt på mig lite för många rör och måste rensa lite. Dom är helt oanvända och med original kartonger. Den ena kartongen är lite bucklig enligt bild men rören är i nyskick.
Against the recent SEK comps, kr750 sits comfortably below the kr1,324 median and even under the kr605 25th percentile by a small margin, so this reads as a strong buy rather than a merely fair ask. For a NOS valve, that’s the right side of the market: you’re paying well under typical asking levels while still staying in the zone where one clean, tested piece can be a very good value.
What makes it worthwhile is the combination of NOS status and the solid reputation of the ECC82 family: it’s a widely used small-signal tube known for lively, low-noise performance in preamps and driver stages. The upside is mainly in the rarity/condition angle—if it’s genuinely unused and properly matched/tested, this is the kind of listing that can punch above its price. I’d just want confirmation that it’s been tested for emission and microphonics, since with old stock the condition matters more than the label.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
RFT, or Rundfunk- und Fernmelde-Technik, emerged in the German Democratic Republic (East Germany) during the Cold War era, functioning not as a single manufacturer but as a state consortium uniting numerous VEB (state-owned) enterprises in radio, television, and telecommunications. Active from the 1950s through the 1980s, it coordinated production across factories like VEB Funkwerk Köpenick and VEB Nachrichtenelektronik, branding a diverse array of electronics under the RFT label for domestic and export markets. This collective structure reflected the centralized economy of the GDR, with no individual founder but a legacy tied to postwar industrial revival.
The brand's product focus centered on consumer and professional audio gear, including bookshelf speakers, full-range drivers, vacuum tubes, and communications electronics like radios and two-way systems. Iconic examples encompass 1970s RFT bookshelf speakers with Tesla-sourced drivers, 1950s EGB (RFT) units for high-sensitivity radio applications, and ECC83 preamp tubes widely used in European amps. Amplifiers and turntables appeared sporadically via consortium members, but RFT excelled in affordable, robust loudspeakers and components rather than high-fidelity esoterica.
Today, RFT occupies a niche vintage-collector space among hi-fi enthusiasts, prized for its utilitarian GDR engineering and surprising sonic performance—often high-sensitivity designs that punch above their budget origins. Far from high-end or contemporary mid-tier contenders, these pieces appeal to retro hunters seeking Cold War-era bargains with character, though sourcing verified originals demands caution amid rebrands and fakes. Obscure outside specialist circles, RFT evokes affordable analog nostalgia without pretension.
