Oh yeah well I've been told the glass and metal raw materials that preceeded the MHL4 are actually the most transparent.

Just kidding looks like an interesting tube.



Going to rewire your amp for 4V, Glenn?

No but make a adapter for it. The adapter will get hot but no big deal.
That is 2.3 volts at 1 amp. A 2.3 ohm resistor and 2.3 watts dissipation.
Two 1.1 ohm resistors at 3 watts each will work fine one on each filament leg.

Also thinking of trying the 7A4 they are also not expensive just needs a loktal socket

And that's the answer to my trivia question about a tube designation that sounds like a clothing designation - the 7A4 is also called XXL, LOL.
But, why not the 14A4? Should be even less expensive....

Maybe but my amp is old and doesn't have the switch.

I really don't roll tubes much and like the L63. The amp origanally had #27 drivers with 2.5 volt heaters.
I did pull the 6J5s out of two old radios Sylvania round plate and they sound great. Not as good as the L63 but who knows how many hours are on them.

This is one of my tubes selling at an inflated price.
My ugly hand writing on ebay..........

It's not the first time either.

Haha.

For some reason, I don't trust the seller who claims the tube is NIB.

I actually never ended up getting it. When I wanted to buy it, everyplace was sold out, so I ended up getting a Singxer SU-1. I was meaning to pick one up used to do some comparisons with the SU-1, but it wasn't a priority.

Haha, we're on the opposite side of the globe. When it's night for me, it's morning for you. You have a good day !

This weekend will be a continuous 48 hours of rock and roll.
