Agreed,? Don't start any amp project, unless you have at LEAST TWO known good tubes.? ? And don't build any amp with more than one tube....pita.? ?You will have a helluva time trying to

Re: Identifying some rare tubes...
Strange. On the link you sent on one photo it shows the 6T51 as a glass tube but on another photo it shows it as an external anode. Even on evilbay they show a 6T51 as an external anode as a FU-605.

Re: Kudos to Digi Key and Hammond Mfg.
Like Steve said, Digi Key is the only way to order them. The original in my amp was a Magnelab. They are poorly built and according to Glenn, all of the Magnelab transformers have failed. Alpha was

Re: Ameritron Plate Chokes
Yup; PTFE's a pretty good thermal insulator at low temperatures (i.e.: below its melting or burning point), especially compared to ceramic. Moreover, the ceramic can take a couple thousand degrees

"?They will work for B+ applications, but have to be-derated for voltage.".... that's the question, right there. If it's rated 8kV, will it cope with 6,500V?? Because if it doesn't , 800J is going
