6au6 is a very useful tube, you can use it as a pentode stage or even small power amp

[ampmike]

Would a 6AU6A be the same?

[Structo]

Looks like you cleaned out an old TV tech treasure trove.

What value are the blue and green power resistors?

[bancika]

Would a 6AU6A be the same?

yep

[ampmike]

I should get some better pics,The Blue says 150,The green 225 ohm,Then there is racks of 20F 700 W-L in green ceramic.Got a nice brand new RCA PT for something, 117 V 60 cy. Plate 292-292 V. 72 MA Fil#1 5V 2amp Fil#2 6.35 V 2.75 amp.Lots of carbon comp resisters.Mikey

I see some 6aq5s in there, are those similar to the 7-pin small tubes 6AL5s?

I built a distortion pedal from Merlin's Sparkgap design using the small 7pin tubes. pretty cool pedal.

Yea ,There is another box of tubes,Same kinds.I found a old variac and some mini tubes.Got a load of resisters all cc and filed them nicely,A bunch of paper filter caps,couple mallorys,Lot of of odd stuff,Fun to dig through, Too bad there was only afew 12at7"s,12az7".When I first saw the tube boxes my jaw dropped!Wish they were all 12ax7"s or like,Mikey Oh heres the other box.

[Structo]

Were there any octal tubes?

[ampmike]

Hey Tom,I have a few 6ba6 .And a few 12av6.Any good?Mikey

[Structo]

Those are 7 pin tubes.

I think just about all those tubes are for TV's, no?

[ampmike]

Yea,Kinda stinks,They look real cool!Tom,Mark was saying I might be able to put the Power Tranny in something.It would be nice to be able to use it in a rocket or 18 watt. RCA 105771 Pim:117 v. 60 cy. Plate 292-0-292 V. 72 Ma Fil #1= 5 v. 2 amp Fil #2 = 6.35 2.75 amp What do you think? Mikey

[selloutrr]

get creative and make a tube sculpture sell it on ebay and double your $.

or start a trend to bring back the old televisions

6BA6, 6AU6 both are used in the Hammond AO-29 amp that is in the M series amps, but they are not worth much. Maybe this is a good excuse to get the M3 you always wanted

Remember that Aussie amp thread ? : https://tubeamparchive.com/viewtopic.ph ... alian+amps Lots of info in those links about guitar amps made with TV tubes, maybe you could make a Goldetone clone ?
