I'd be leary of those WGB's in that amp.They arent quite up to what that amp puts on them.They are only rated for 400 plate volts/26 watts and 300 screen volts.I've seen them cook the screens pretty quick in modern amps.Direwolf said:I have two telefunken <> bottom in mine and it is outstanding. I also put some NOS JAN phillips 6l6 wgbs in it as well with two ruby 6l6 wgc str in the outer sockets. 8)

The JAN tubes are pretty hardy tubes,so they will take a lot of abuse,but its still not a good idea to trust them in a circuit that exceeds their specs.Direwolf said:stokes said:I'd be leary of those WGB's in that amp.They arent quite up to what that amp puts on them.They are only rated for 400 plate volts/26 watts and 300 screen volts.I've seen them cook the screens pretty quick in modern amps.Direwolf said:I have two telefunken <> bottom in mine and it is outstanding.

Thanks for the heads up. I had them in a BFDR biased at 40 mA with 435 plate volts. I figured if it can handle the DR it should be ok in the Boogie. In the Boogie they are reading 35-36 mA on my bias meter. Can't remember the plate voltage.

The Tubestore has been running that for a long time,they have a lot of those to sell.If they told you "dont put these in a 6L6GC amp" you wouldnt buy them.Sure,some of them may hold up,but they arent designed to take that much abuse.If you want to take the chance,its your amp.Direwolf said:stokes said:I'd be leary of those WGB's in that amp.They arent quite up to what that amp puts on them.They are only rated for 400 plate volts/26 watts and 300 screen volts.I've seen them cook the screens pretty quick in modern amps.Direwolf said:I have two telefunken <> bottom in mine and it is outstanding.
