Whoever won that auction got a GOOD tube at a nice price. Frazzled, if you won, your 300B project got a boost.
It's very easy to recommend TungSol, RCA, and GE 5U4GBs (in that pecking order). As is the case with many desireable NOS varieties, availability is not too good and prices are rising.
I want to hear from people who have used the Russian 5U4GB. Being able to honestly recommend a current production variety is of importance to me. Sadly, current production 5U4Gs are JUNK.

Hi,
Unfortunately I can only confirm that....
From the two "guano" current production mutants the Chinese seems to be the better one.
For any new DIY project the 5U4GB is best avoided, untill the manufacturers get their act together that is.
Cheers,
