A little back story. When I got married, we bought my grandparents' old house. Today I needed to stow stuff in our surprisingly packed crawl space, and I have learned that my grandfather never threw anything out in his life.
Today's interesting discovery was a really old radio and a pair of monoblocks that I assume went with it at one point. They are in truly terrible condition, but they had a bunch of tubes in them. This included four RCA grey-glass 6V6GT, all in excellent looking condition once I wiped off the dust. One pair is in my MP-301 right now, and they sound pretty freakin' awesome.
So, here's the question: I assume not, but are the EF93-based 6BA6 compatible with the EF95 that I have in the same amp? They look the same size, but I know one letter difference can sometimes mean a really big difference.
As a bonus, there are some other tubes here that look to be in decent condition. If any of them would be of use to anyone in North America, you are welcome to them for the price of shipping. A caveat: I have no idea whether they work or how much they have been used. Most look like they have been used, but others actually look brand new. If the RCAs are any indication, they might be worth it for someone. My Grandpa was a bit of a stickler, so I'd be surprised if they aren't matched, but I have no way of testing them.
2X 5Y3GT - One is a Rogers made in Holland, the other a Canadian made GE
2X 6J5 - These are both Westinghouse, and are in metal sleeves. These look a bit more worn than the rest.
1X 12AT7 - Westinghouse again, and looks unused.
2X 6BA6 (again, I don't know if these would work in my amp)
I also seem to have a single 6AV6--can't read the company name anymore
There's also a single stubby little GE guy, but I can't see a number on it. I could take a picture if that would help.
