Just found a set that tests 100% and looks as if they are NOS.

The two wierd deals with these is that the tube holders on my DRRI don't touch any where and they have the extra pin that is missnig on most 6V6's

They biased exactly the same at 30.1 ma

The sound is amazing too !

P.S. Well guys I went to Notre Dame in South Bend IN today and met up with a student in need of some cash, well I bought another DRRI today LOL !!!!
This makes four in less than ten years.

I sold my TRRI and now this will be my new #1 , had to fix the little green wire in the reverb tank, NOS tubes and set the bias.

I'll grow up some day !!!!

Anyone use the coin base 6V6's ???

Anyone !

O.K. what 5AR4 GZ34 is the latest craze without paying over 100 for a mullard ???
The JJ I used in the last DRRI worked fine, it does seem as if a lot of people had issues with the JJ's

I thought I might as well post pics for those who have yet to see the coin base tubes.
Here they are in my new beloved DRRI

They are just dangling there with only the pins holding them, Any Suggestions ???

You'd be wise to invest in some of those spring-loaded "jock strap" thingies.
