Huh?

Steve,

Put an 807 beside a 6BG6G and except for the base I'd be hard pressed to tell the difference, except for the box on top of the cathode. Wasn't the 807 used in really early designs before 6BG6's were available? I made a socket adaptor and have actually put an 807 into a socket wanting a 6BG6 in my first Admiral. This was early on in my collecting and I had no stock of 6BG6's. It worked but the 807 didn't seem to have as much gain.

Rob,

I see the 6BG6 is still being made in Russia. Is this due to tube audio demand?
