I was told that the 'black' appearance may be a photographic thing-caused by camera flash. But if it IS in fact black, the tube's shot. Thanks It's hard to figure tubes...I see them go dirt cheap or just sitting there on feebay. Others go for 100/tube and seem the same as those that don't seem...

I read that yellow jackets are supposed to be run at the low power switch, else they get destroyed. Is this true?

Just saw some 6L6GC Sylvanias which have huge black blots on glass. What does this mean? THX

I found a couple EC3883 which I think are AX equivalent. I like the one I tried very much. Last time it said anything before this was in '83...out of a Grundig. Jim Morrison was singing. I found that I couldn't give the radio away, so I opened it before trashing it. Big surprise. 4 of the 6 or...

You might consider the Ibanez line. I found a mint Roadstar in surf green dirt cheap. It is, however, Fender inspired in shape. Jumbo frets, buckers, a very simple pickguardless axe with two knobs, two pups. The varieties are staggering with Ibanez. A lot of trashed ones out there but even the...

Thanks for the info. I would like to have them tested in the most objective manner. I know they sound great, and many amp techs are kind of jaded and weary of people asking for test results: "Do they sound good in the amp?" "Yes" "Then quit bothering me!" So I need the best possible info on...

I run jackets in a musicman 2-10 65. At first I was unimpressed. Then I found an old AX from Telefunken for the phase inverter. I don't know if this was the ticket...but there are times I just have to laugh....what note was THAT? Full volume always of course. It's hard to keep an eye on the...

In response to price query...I live in Chicago, so you can check them out if you like. I'm open to offers. I don't know how to operate the board here as to leave your quote in this box, sorry..

How important is paint/decal on tubes? I ask because the str415's which came onboard a used musicman 150 combo were taken in and out a lot while trying to find a intermittent problem which turned out to be a chip on the power board. The amp tech said they were blown tubes and sold me sovteks...

I found four blue painted 415 tubes in an old musicman HD 150 which was wrecked (randomly resoldered) by a local amp hack. He tried to hang onto the tubes after selling me crappy sovteks for 90 dollars. Later I realized that there was nothing wrong with the tubes. I sold the amp after replacing...
