Motorola just stealing everyone's thunder lately!! Sure does look like a Bad Boy. Have the Motorola (Sylvania black plate) But this one... If nobody grabs it by tomorrow...Sure. We all believe you. Kinda.
I'm no expert on Bad Boys (and totally ignorant on Fat Boys LOL!) but this looks pretty close. EIA code is right for Sylvania. Not sure if Bad Boys went into 1953 though. Pretty cheap if it's for real.

I should've jumped on it but already have half a dozen tubes coming in... I have a problem

Sounds like it's time to renew the charter on Tubeaholics Anonymous. You and @Ripper2860 can be co-chairmen, and @Paladin79 can be the treasurer. Not that he needs to supply the funds, he just needs tocookkeep the books.
Wait...co-chairmen will lead to co-nflicts. You be chairman, and @Ripper2860 can be the janitor. We'd have to give him a pre-employment test to see if he has the requisite skills though.
Those are two very good tubes and not overly expensive. I often pair the RCA with various 6sn7's.
I'd have to a and b them for a bit... But I've always gushed over these ever since ( @sennfan83261 ) brought them to our attention. He found a rare (1948?) brown base Chrome Dome. I just slapped in the Ken Rad, Ill chime in later.
They both have excellent timbre, (always wanted to use that term 
) the Ken Rad vocals are highly dialed in, with crisp highs. The Sylvania has a very nice euphonic delivery here, vocals just fill the room and echos off the walls. Where the Ken Rad tightens the vocals. Both great in their regard. Bass on the Sylvania extends deeper (some might say somewhat bloated), Ken Rad bass is tighter with more control. Of the two i get lost in my music with the Sylvania, Ken Rad I'm more focused. I like em both!
Aaww man, what to do.
Just got an update on the adapter! Yes! It's finally moving....but ....I just bought another one from Deyan...
http://www.tubecollectors.org/archives/DowdGuide2.pdf So after reading that my Cunningham 6AS7G could be older than I thought it was. RCA "Cunningham" 6AS7G started in 1925 to 1941 ...holy crap. (although it was listed as 1949 so what do I know)Have you tried an RCA 6AS7GA (straight bottle)? I like it better than the 6AS7G I have, but not sure what year either one was manufactured (which could certainly make a difference).
Getting ready to fire up those black round plate Sylvania 6J5's to see how they sound...and see if my paint job on the transformer cover stays intact or melts off.
