OK so I have a quick question, this radio uses 2 6L6Gs in push-pull configuration for about 45 watts or so and when I got this unit it had its original matched set of Ken-Rad 6L6G tubes in it but one of the tubes was microphonic and I happened to have a Conn Rebadged GE 6L6GC tube that I salvaged from an old Conn Organ Amplifier to sub in to confirm my suspicions about one of the original 6L6G tubes being microphonic.
I know with push-pull amplifiers it is best to replace tubes in pairs but unfortunately 6L6G tubes (NOS) are $40 a pop and 6L6GC tubes are $80 a pop, and I have a whole ton of 6V6 tubes laying around including a matched set of Zenith (Sylvania) 6V6G tubes that I salvaged from a Zenith 10S690 Console that I parted out.
I was wondering if I could use those 6V6G tubes in this Magnavox Console in place of the 6L6G tubes since the 6V6 tubes are more readily available and cheaper than the 6L6 tubes?
