I bought a quad of Tungsram EL84's that when I tried them in my LSS the outside two looked like they were "neon", so I shut down and pulled them. Seems I'm in for a rebiasing, either cap replaced or pot. ANYWAY......
I was looking online and found a quad of 7189 a's. The specs have 13.2 wt. max plate dissip. vs. the 12 wt. of EL 84; and 440v max plate v compared to 300v max plate volts with the EL 84.
Would such a tube work as a temp replacement, as it seems my plate voltage is too hot for the Tungsrams???
My logic may not be correct in this area? If this is stupid, sorry. Jeff
