My dad recently gave me his old tube caddy. Here are its contents. I recognize a couple, but the vast majority are just random numbers to me. Is there anything here amp-worthy?

6LB6 12-PIN GLASS
Well, I'm fairly new to tubes, but I recognise a number that have a good rep in audio:
6SN7 (preamp), 6L6 (power amp), all the 12a*7 preamp series, 7199 preamp(vintage gold as I understand), ECL82 (combo). There will be others too.
The 5Y3 and 6x4 are low current rectifiers. Good for small amp/preamp stuff.
All in all, you have a good score there!

The 6AU6 can be used as a small signal audio pentode.
The 7591 is a very nice power O/P type that's as easy to drive as "12" W. tubes. An honest 30 W. from a PP pair of 7591s is easy enough to do.
The 6FQ7 is electrically equivalent to the 6SN7. That tube, along with the 6X4, give you the makings of a line stage.
The 6C4 is 1/2 a 12AU7.
The 35W4 is a half wave rectifier found in transformerless (therefore dangerous) AC/DC radios. Something could be made of a pair, in a hybrid bridge rectifier setup. The 25W4 is the same tube, with a lower voltage/higher current heater.
