[Amps] Amp for sale on eBay

[Will Matney]

Cliff,

There were two companies making one sweep tube which was Svetlana, and EI a Yugoslavian factory. That tube was the 6KG6A or EL-519. There's is one Chinese company that told me they could make 6LF6's again, but you had to order a few thousand at an order. I seriously thought about the 6LF6 because it could replace several 12 pin tubes. If someone had them made, they would sell like hotcakes to repair these old boat anchors with, both HAM and CB. The 6KG6A is a weaker tube than the 6LF6 which was the same as an 8950 with a 6 volt heater. The 8950 had a 12 volt heater. The 6JS6C can be replaced with the 6LF6 also so the Yaseu guys could repair them old transceivers.

Best,

Will
