WTB: Unusual GE 6SN7GTB

69CamaroSS396 · 9th June 2007, 12:52 PM

I have an unusual GE 6SN7GTB that I would like to buy a match(or two) for, if it's worthwhile. It is a 2 1/2" tall bottle with side getter and a very small black base that does NOT come up over the glass. I have searched and searched and looked at thousands of 6SN7s with no luck in finding a specific mention of this tube. If it is basically worthless, I'd like to know that, if someone would be willing to share that knowledge.

Thanks, Greg

Looks like a common coin base 6SN7 to me. I cannot see it too good because of the picture quality. When put up against any other 6Sn7 they sound horrid in my opinion. I threw away about a dozen of them less than 6 months ago.

Maybe that quality explains why I can find no info on any tube sites.

Thanks!

Inconsistent- I've tested a couple good ones and a couple bad ones. The good ones are as good as anything I've tried. The bad ones... well...

If I were offered a quantity at a bargain price, I'd buy it and do some sorting.

I have a lot and it is very good. IMO.
best regards Jaime
