Can a 6SB7 replace a 6A7/6A8?
#1

ADMIN NOTE: I split this thread from another thread since this is on a different subject. - RR

Hey Ron,
Just for grins you might want to try a 6SB7 in place of the 6A7. You will have to make up an adapter but it has twice the conversion gain of the 6A7. The grid configuration is a bit different than the 6A7 but can be wired up to work. I think I'm going to give it a try in the 37-620. Should really give the SW bands a boost.

figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!
