You find the oddest stuff 😀

I'm always on the lookout for cheap stuff, and the 6688 is just about my favorite tube, but at nearly $5 per tube it is just too rich for my blood 🙂 -- so, for $1 each (ebay), I just couldn't say no.

Yeah, I figured I'd just drop them into a working circuit, but I also thought I should ask about them in case there is some unexpected weirdness.
 
They arrived. They are physically larger than the 6688's, but they test the same in my tester, and dropped into a circuit seem to work just fine.
