On the advice of TomB I was looking for a set of 12fm6 tubes, so I checked ebay. Found a seller and simply asked, "Are the tubes the same brand? Which brand? Are they side or top getters?"
Here is the reply I received (I found it rather amusing
)
"YES THESE ARE 7 PIN TESTED TUBES,A PAIR OF THE SAME BRAND,GETTERS,I HAVE NO TIME TO LOOK FOR THAT,THESE ARE A FEW BUCKS A TUBE,AFTER PAY PAL AND EBAY FEEs,I MAKE NOTHING.NO-ONE IN THE WAREHOUSE WILL LOOK OR OPEN BOXES,THEY ALL PRETTY MUCH DO NOT CARE ABOUT AUDIO THINGS,these are car radio tubes."
I guess this guy was having a bad day. I think I'm going to go ahead and order a set. Afterall, his response was timely and he did answer my questions to some extent.
