Gotta love a good westy , 5U4 and a pair of 6Y6's ... too cool .

I got an FM console version here , the Westinghouse H114 , 14 tubes including the tuning eye , the 6Y6's are in push pull , and not one but two of my all time favorite tube , the 6H6 dual diode (the tube that the 7 pin 6AL5 is based on) . With 14 tubes you just about could heat the room with it , and just for grins , look up the heater current of the 6Y6 , it's higher than any of the 6L6 6F6 6V6 output tubes , 1.25 amps VS the 6V6's .45 amp ! This explains the rather large power transformer and 175 watt input power rating for the H114 .
