NOS tube find.

Came home with these today to try in my Cyg Champ clone amp.
#1 is what looks to be a military 6V6 GTY.
#2 is a Phillips 6V6 GTA.

Cyg this is what you put in it can you tell me what this one is?

[Cygnus X1]

Either should work great.
Congrats!

Thanks just wonder what the tube was that you had in it when I got it.
See last two pics above.

[Cygnus X1]

Soviet 6V6GT.

OK.

[Cygnus X1]

10-4.

I was thinking it might be Russian but I wasn't sure. That star and the look of the fonts.

The Sylvania tube was pkd in 6/ 56 looks like but has a pin in the #6 location.
Would that make any difference if I used it in this amp?
I figure the #6 pin socket isn't wired anyway.

[Cygnus X1]

Some have a pin 6.
Still no connection on the socket.
Careful though...some amps (none of mine) use that pin as a tie point for other functions.

Thanks Kevin good to know.
