1x Philips 6189W A high-quality tube known for durability and clarity.

Voltage Information: The rear panel is labeled "100V," which was applied specifically for the Japanese market. However, the internal components, including the power transformer (marked 120V), are identical to the standard 120V version. I personally confirmed this with Conrad Johnson’s owner, Jeff, who assured me that this unit is designed to operate stably across 100V to 120V power inputs.
