Greetings all,
Besides filament voltage, would you consider the 7060 and 6AN8a interchangeable?

Thanks,
Ray

I do not think so !!

Both have a medium mu triode and a sharp cut off pentode , BUT
the triode's average plate characteristics are very different , and the
pentode's not so much , but are different too .

Better replacement for 7060 is the 6AU8 .
