I have a good elderly friend who lives about 2 hours from me in the West, he has an array of good tube testing equipment, so I am not exactly stuck for resources, love the wise old men who know how to test & calibrate properly

Being English it makes me feel feel quite naughty actually 

If I understand my "across the pond" terminology: "You're a dirty bird!"

Always a good resource to keep open and available (beginning to become a lost art!)

Changed my tube on my WA22 again. Now its VT231 Sylvania drivers and RCA 5u4g. Really nice mids, smoothness and airy.

So far from these threads it seems the ecc31 (by adapter) and ecc35 are compatible with the wa22.  Anyone else know of other tubes?

Correct

Oh and probably the 34s I'm going to check.

Interesting.  Geez I didn't even know there was an ecc34.

Do you have a set of the Tung-Sol Round plates or NU 6F8G's?
 
If so how do they compare to the Mullards?
