Was there ever any consensus on whether the 2399 is electrically a 5998 or a 6AS7? I've read through this entire thread but it seems like no certainly was established. I ordered a pair of 5998 from a tube seller and what I received were Chatham 2399. They have 5998 plates, but if they are electrically a 6AS7G then that would basically make them a 6520 which isn't what I was looking for. They also have copper grid posts, where as my understanding is the 5998 usually uses steel. I'll probably keep them regardless but I'm hoping I can figure out whether I can put them on the 5998 or 6AS7 side of my tube box.
There are some nice looking 6520 on eBay I'm considering bidding on right now, but if the Chatham 2399 is the same tube then I will pass on that. If, however, they are a 5998 then I'd still be bidding so I'm hoping to find out. Thanks guys!
