musicman59 are the 6F8G electrically the same as the 6SN7?
I bought a pair of Tungsol black glass/round plates 6SN7GT and a pair of Tungsol black glass/round plates 6F8G with adapters. I have been using them in my WA5-LE as drivers. The 6SN7 is very polite with nice soundstage but a little bit thing in the bass section. It does great with acoustinc music or music with a lot of midrange. I found the 6F8G a lot more dynamic with the same characteristics in the nidrange and higs as the 6SN7 but with a lot more authority in the bass section. The 6F9G not only sound better to my ears and with the type of music I listen to (Pop, light rock) but at 35% of the price of the 6SN7 they are a total bargain.

Are these original British or Russian made but branded British?
I have an original all black, glass and base but never tried it yet.
Seamaster that means an adapter with a top tap would make the 6F8G a direct replacement right?
You may want to give them more time, leave the amp plugged in over the weekend.
I agree with Regal! Give the KenRads at least 24 hours to cook. 60 year old tubes need some serious wake-up time to sound their best.
I dont know, maybe it is an fake one, but the one you mean is the one on the left, right?
I like Mullards and can imagine the differences between them and CV1988, where I expect Mullards to be more warmish and having better mids, but thats my guess only, any idea?
Yes, like this:
