6CB6 vs 6DE6

You're welcome.
Right now finals have me tired enough that when I first clicked on the link I was half expecting it to be about launching the two tubes at one another to see which one would survive the impact.

You are so right about subs changing the bandpass of the IF amps. I tried 6AK5s to replace 6AG5s in a Dumont dog house. It certainly didn't want to know about that sub!!
BTW, best of luck on the exams!

I bought some 6AG5's for my 621TS, that I'm restoring. I also bought some 6BC5's to try, but I'll probably stick with the 6AG5's. The 6BC5 is a later issue 6AG5. It also goes under the 6CE5 type number.

Thanks. I think I passed everything by a decent margin (still one course not reporting my grade). With luck when the last of my grades come in tomorrow I'll have confirmation that I'll be receiving a diploma to go in the empty leather binder they gave me during my graduation Saturday....

Unfortunately while cleaning my school laptop prior to turning it in to get the fun programs wiped (so I can keep it for free after graduation) I got enough cleaning fluid in it to prevent it from booting so...... for ~2 weeks (while it is shipped out for repairs) I'll be stuck with using my backup 'media player computer' as my main computer.....Which sucks because I never cofigured it for the web since it was originally only meant to feed tube TVs as it's monitor thru it's s-video jack....I've added a better monitor, but it is still clumsy, and the "wireless" keyboard (which has shorter range than a wired one!) is makin typing hideously clumsy.
