Every time I see a pile of tubes in my house, there’s a 50% chance there’s a 1B3 in it. Tge freaking things are EVERYWHERE.

Really? Dang, I bought several lots of tube recently and out of several hundred not one of them is a 1B3...plenty of tubes I can use for my other projects and tvs but not this one. Also I have no 6SN7s lol which so happens to be some of the tubes that tested weak on emissions. I am going to be getting more tubes soon though and there is a decent chance at least a few are in this lot.
