I just got back from my tube guy. Spent over an hour in his warehouse looking for some nice tubes...and found them!

Then the misses started to complain so we left. Clean up time and then pics!

Stavros. The bendix list does not stop at 5....

 
I hope you took some pictures and have more information than that!

Things aren't always what they seem...
 
Minutes after viewing dminches amazing room, I walked around and pulled the plug on every single piece of gear inside the listening room. At first glance, it might look like a bad case of jealousy to some. But I'm really just relocating the listening room 3.5 miles down the street today.

 I'll continue to study the 7 Day and 30 Day forecasts... some of you are on the wrong side of 65 degrees.

One of my coworkers mentioned we might see temps around 40 later this month. I just said, " Ooo...shorts weather!"

Terrible headache so sorry for the bad quality pictures. I just labelled all my new tubes and stored them away.
When I asked him about graphite plates 6080WB he said he didn't have any but I was free to look around in the warehouse. Guess what: Quick trip = 16 new tubes of which 6 Bendix/Raytheon Graphite plates
A great tube day
 
1. A pair of top condition Thomson 6080WA

2. A pair of Slotted Bendix Red

 
3. One Raytheon Graphite 6080WB
 

 
4. one curved Bendix 6080WB slotted

 
 
5. One Bendix 6080WB Solid curved
 

 
6. And the special one. Bendix 6080WB Crazy slotted curved.
 

 
Has anyone ever seen one of these slots before, they are not straight slots but they are curved
 
And then I found 4 mystery tubes, see my next post...

 

[Ultrainferno]

When looking trough all the boxes in the 6080 section I found four of these mystery tubes. The labels aren't readable anymore and I don't even know if they are 6080 tube types.
 
Does any of the tube experts know what these are please?
 

 

 

 
Even my tube guy had no idea, so I got them for free. Now if I only knew what they were...
Help? Please? Thank you.

 Looks like a single high power pentode not a dual triode like the 6080

Nice find Lieven.
I have not seen the curved slot Bendix before.
What's the date code at the top?
Well done!
 
The other tubes don't look like 6080's to me.
 
Well done!!!!!!!!

Indeed they look most like a 6550.

Totally true! anything over 65 is toooo hot!

 

[GrindingThud]

The curvy slots are interesting...is it the same on both sides?

 

[rosgr63]

Today Lieven taught me about the curved slot Bendix 6080, and Aldo the similarities and differences between women and tubes!
 
It's been a very educational day for me.....
