You're right. I punched in the wrong number. I ought to remember it better...I remember as a teen back when I lived in Florida I had a few tubes I needed at a FAWG swapmeet then I bought a restored 4 band Silvertone console with wire recorder, but no tubes (and it uses a TON). I hit up ESRC1 since the meet was in their parking lot and the total came out to some 3 figure sum...When I got home and started populating tubes I found the 6B6 I needed for some set was replaced with an incompatible 6BG6 for something like 4x the cost...I wasn't amused but let it slide and made a note to check that they pulled what was on my list properly...

If it was a 6B6, it could be replaced by a 6Q7.

Back then teenage me only had 7 and 9 pin Minature tubes....most of my stock is still mineatures but I've got a caddy or 2 worth of octals and about a caddy's worth of fat pins.

I really need to sort my stuff better. Roughly half my mineatures are unboxed used pulls and I often give up and buy new when the boxed and labeled stuff isn't what I need or a listed sub in one of my books.
