Need guidance in selecting a Lowboy
#8

Thx for the education, Terry and Ron!

I sent a message to Willy, asking him to verify the tube count, since my understanding is that the leading digit of the model number identifies the tube count, and he lists it as a 76, yet states it has 8 tubes. Or is that possible?

I notice that the lowest control on his appears to be a switch, where on others I've seen, it's knob. Can you advise exactly what that control is?

Also I'm confused (nothing new at my age); would you say that the 76 and 87 are equal in performance, or which is superior? I understand that the 95 would be the best, but which model is then the next best AFA performance?
