[Baddog01]

Do any of you guys now anything about these tubes. Are they just early mis marked GC's?

Thanks

Early 6L6 tube. 6L6, 6L6G, 6L6GA, 6L6GB, and 6L6GC.

He only 6l6G's I'm aware of are the old coke bottle ones. Hmmm this looks like a new tube. I sent an email to JJ electronics to see if they have any info .

I googled and I am a good googler. I think you are right about markings and I think they may have been for an OEM because all I see is a couple pairs and a single sextet of pulls.

So you did find some marked 6L6G? Can you send me a link to where you found them. I found these in a 1985 Fender Concert Series 2 amplifier I just services.

Thanks

There is a quad on reverb and I saw a sextet link on google.. they are all used up and the printing is charred.

I searched: JJ tubes "6L6G"

get ready to wade in C's.

I did find an ended sale for a quad at Reverb.com.

100E for 6 burned and recent tubes. Yeah, I'm on that...

[Baddog01]

I bet they are OEM stuff or early production tubes. Mine didn't have any stickers on the base just like the ones in the pics.

I think they are OEM for some euro builder. I like these kinds of hunts. It's a window into manufacture and distribution networks..

hehe

BORING but fun.

[Baddog01]

The eBay listing shows specs for 6L6GC's in the description. Neither describe them as OEM . Hmm

[Reeltarded]

They wouldn't know since the tubes probably came from other devices previously and since JJ doesn't have specs for a 6l6G we will accuse them of what they always do..

Make a million 6l6 tubes and then mark them as every similar tube that won't probably kill your amp with current draw.. maybe.

I saw a guy running 520v on underbiased JJ 6v6s. hah

[Baddog01]

I biased them conservatively at 37ma per tube with 484vdc on the plates. The owner said the amp sounded great.

To paraphrase Crocodile Dundee: "that's not a 6L6G this is a 6L6G!"

Bet it's just some poop JJ silk screened for someone selling tweed clones. Instead of a zero-assed effort they could have made a half-assed effort, if only for shits and giggles, stuck their husky 6V6 guts into their 2A3 glass, which is sort of ST-ish and called it a 6L6G. But that probably would have pissed me off even more

When are metal tubes gonna get the retro-treatment?
