Question for the tube gurus......

Post by redshark »

I know the EL-37 is the british version of the 6L6 but.....
If I'm using a "modern" valve tester like the Orange VT1000 that doesn't have the tube denomination "EL-37" could I use the 6L6 category to test that valve? How diferent are inside?

Thanks!!

You go here and verify if they are the same pin out and specs are close enough. http://tubedata.itchurch.org/index.html If so, then you test it the same way as a 6L6.
