One of them is vertically challenged and the other isnt.

Here is a list of what should work, if the tube socket is wired correctly
(G3 tied to cathode)
 
6L6G  (and A,B,C versions)
5881
5932
7027
EL34
6CA7
KT77
WE350B
 
Compatible with an adapter
6550
KT88
KT90

 

[KingStyles]

The 350b would work wouldnt it?

 

[kevin gilmore]

Yep the 350B has the same pinout and voltages.
NOS on those could be silly amounts of money.
Current price over $700 each.

 

[KingStyles]

I would be happy if I could find them for $700. I am seeing $900 - 1800 for 1.

Oh, so they're even cheaper than the big bulbed Osram PX25s.  That's like a Bluelight special!

    Dear Kevin ,  thanks for the info.  Could you recommend which tubes for each types should we consider?  I am thinking about
     6L6GC  : RCA, Sylvania
     EL34 :   XF1, XF2,  Metal base
     KT77 : GEC NOS
     350B  :  WE 350B, WE367A?
Should this be enough?

Just heard back from Craig.  Looks like the Electra is down to one cap now.  

 

[El_Doug]

and the Electra just became one hell of a serious contender!

    I also heard that the performance may be approaching DIY T2 with higher gain to drive O2mkI
The SE version will change from the pentode tubes to triode tubes    ,  that's also good news.

 

[purrin]

We'll see. Craig did refer to the T2DIY as the "FU" amp.
 

 

[El_Doug]

You do NOT need more gain to drive the O2 (and I find the T2 comment to be highly suspect)

[Radio_head]

He means higher voltage swing.

 

[KingStyles]

Cant wait, just waiting for the preorder to open up.

He meant it in a good way, as in top dog amp.  Forgive Purrin's lack of eloquence.  Snow blinded by all that TP.
