Walking home from the grocery store yesterday someone dumped this out on the street, I stopped and looked, and went on my way. :)

what?!?! Get your hands dirty for those GE tubes?? No way. Only @bcowen will do that... :joy: :joy: :joy:🤣🤣
I think I see a few KenRad though :sweat_smile:
Looks like even GE tubes would be an upgrade in that thing.

(not really....just kidding :smile:)

I heard you guys love GE tubes. These are 6sn7gt made by GEs division in Canada with the Sylvania 1950s badboy construction. The best sounding GE 6sn7 tubes I would say. Unique yellow bases for industrial use I guess.

I have these as GTB with the same construction as well.

Good ol CGE. Not to be confused with GEC (hopefully)

Did you buy these from the Indian seller? I am guessing that yellow paint was painted later by someone, and not originally from factory, with the intention of selling them as Sylvania Bad Boy. I have seen this Indian seller listing them as Sylvania Bad Boy.

Yes it's from Indian tube store.

I doubts it's painted by him. The original boxes state they are made in Canada and have that 5 digit code printed as well.
Badboys don't have rectangular getter. At least I knew what I was buying.

Same tube as GTB marketed by Marconi Canada.
