Just won 10 Sylvania 6bg6ga NOS for $79. These are the same as the Sylvania 7581a/7027a. I'm glad to have more but I really don't need 10, bargain or no. I really need to stop "just a quick check of ebay." Glad I like cheap tubes at least!
Regarding 6BG6 tubes that you talk about,
Just had a note from Eric of McChanson's amps. Haven't heard from him for a while. Wonderful chap. Always a delight to hear from him. If I hadn't had so many amps already, I may even be interested in the amp below.
I have made one really universal amp (see picture ) which is being auditioned by a potential client with KT150. The amp has switches that enable it to use all pentode / Tetrode tubes ( with tube socket adaptor as needed) - all 6L6 pin compatible tubes, 807, 6DG6, etc.. The picture is using the Russian equivalent. I think the facility that can use those wonder low rp tubes 6BG6 etc can just be an added bonus, it cannot compete with KT150 which is popular...
Cheers
Eric
