ABOUT US
At the helm is our illustrious leader, Martin ‘I love tubes’ Billington. Initially assisted by his father Anthony, Billington Valves was conceived in 1981 and traded from a home garage.
Fast forward to 1991 when alongside a growing passion and expansion into overseas markets, it morphed into Billington Export Ltd. Of course, the garage trading days were long behind. Romance and marriage to Jenny followed, along with 'Will you take these tubes and valves?'.
Much pride is taken in sourcing vintage, rare, and obsolete valves and tubes for equally passionate audio and industry aficionados.
Over one million valves, CRTs, magnetrons, and sockets are held in stock at our office and warehouse. Famous old brands include Mullard, GEC, Sylvania, and RCA. Many of which are NOS tubes and NOS valves. Most valves carry a ‘no fuss’ guarantee for a minimum of 90 days.
Other brands in stock include Billington Gold , Brimar, Bugle Boy (Amperex), EEV, Fivre, GE, Hytron, Mazda, Marconi, Philips, Psvane Raytheon, STC, Siemens, Telefunken, Thomson, Tungsram and many more.
Our usual tube tester is the AVO VCM163. One of the best testers in the world.
Trade enquiries welcome.
We look forward to helping you!
