Dude, my 2 sets are STILL in the Ukraine. Been there for 5 days. Want to hear these puppies.
I was just talking to @Phantaminum and I may just be the guinea pig and pick up a set of those 6n2p triple Mica and see if they’re microphonic, hopefully not noisy and how high the gain actually is on these. I don’t want to move the POT a millimeter and it blows out my ears and gear. Most importantly, do they kick some serious a$$. For $25, I’ll probably give a shot. Is anyone even interested?

I have some 6n2p on the way if you want to hold on and see if they're worth trying.
No doubt you're going to buy them anyway, you addict :)

Never even heard of a 300B being used in an OTL amp. Stranger things, I guess...

Oops, got used to saying OTL when mentioning Glenn. Almost like a Pavlov reaction. It's his 300B amp that he had the misfortune of experiencing the arc'ed tube.

Lol.
Now that you say that, I probably won’t and wait for your “good to go” or forgeddaboudit.
Bro, I gotta slow down though, seriously.

Wasn't Glenn pissed off that his OTL and someone elses Glenn 300B amp bit the dust when the 300B tube arc'ed. I can just imagine a $1200 tube dying and taking your amp with it.

Someone had a PY500 rectifier fail in a 300B, didn't harm the amp. Don't know of any 300B failure that took out the amp.
Think you're referring to a couple of 5998 fails, killed the headphones, not the amps. Yes, happened to Glenn.
Had only one tube fail, a rectifier, just had to replace the fuse.
The new WE 300B will have a 5 year warranty.

My 3 CBS 5670 came in, anybody got a single I can buy? Out of all the tubes I sold, traded or have away those are the only ones I missed. Seems the gain is high on these as well as my 2 former pair.
I might have a spare. What style getter and color plates are yours? Do you also have the test readings? I’ll dig into my spares box and see if I have one that matches up.

BangyBang's deal of the day:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Matched-Pa...444?_trksid=p2349526.m4383.l4275.c10#viTabs_0

Advertised as VT-231's when they're clearly not.
Power tube? Really?
Glass envelope? Unique!
And even 'Double Grid Radiators.' That *is* unique. They must be water cooled.

Unlike the majority of his other stuff, these do appear to be actual Raytheon tubes. But you can buy the same ones from a reputable and honest dealer for half that amount...
