Thanks Bill. I bought the 2 hole.

The Aeon is out for delivery today. I am pretty excited but it will have to be really good to beat the sound of the Alpha Prime I bought from you. I am loving the sound from the Prime.

I would love to claim this as my own work but this is what I used as a guide to find my Bad Boys.

Good deal on the 2-hole. That's the better deal, and the more I look at that 3-hole tube I have some concerns with the getter flashing. Looks to be the right flashing, just that it's very thin and almost transparent which may indicate a problem.

And congrats on the Aeon's! You have a bigger treat in store than that Bad Boy.

You mean my Bad Boy?

Thanks guys. Ripper warned me not to trust Bill. So far he has been a pleasure to deal with. Guess Ripper needs to reevaluate his opinions. LOL Of course he won't.

I was listening with my Alpha Prime last night, and as I have stated in the past, the real bad boy, is a perfect match.

I have both 3 hole and 2 hole bad boys. They are both excellent. Can't say if one is better than the other, but both are on the top of my list.

Were there any WGT bad boys? I mean is it possible they used the same gubbins but with the ruggedized WGT construction?I've spotted one with 3 holes in the black T plates and a '52 code (If they were made in the 50's, could be 40's or 60's?) Code is 152 so i figure 15th week of a year ending with a 2.

Hey Bill you think it is ok to buy it.

If you don't buy it, I will. It's on my watchlist.

BTW -- The 312 specifies it is Sylvania-made. I have a Philco 3-hole BB and a Sylvie and there's no difference. This tube meets all of the parameters.

J/K -- I have 3x 3-hole BB's and a 2-hole BB, so I'm good... for now.

The 152 code if arranged vertically with the 1 on top would be the 52nd week of '51.

Yep it's vertical I think it might be worth a punt. I have some great tubes (No Sylvania's though) to compare it to so even if it's nothing like a badboy i can be a guinea pig to see how it stacks up to my other tubes.

 

[Ripper2860]

I have Sylvania 50's WGT and WGTA's and while they are good sounding tubes, they do not sound close to what a Bad Boy can do, IMHO.

If you want an intro into Sylvania, get a true Chrome Dome ('52 6SN7GTA) or a '51-'53 6SN7GT 2/3-Hole Bad Boy.
