[Boatanchors] 8950 tube to 6LQ6 conversions

[Revcom]

Greg,

Shouldn't be much of a problem.  Just be sure basing is wired correct
and put filaments in series.  8950 is 13V filament at 1.1A. 6LQ6 os
rated at 6.3V at 2.5A.   8950 also has a little higher plate dissapation,
33W vs 30W for 6LQ6/6JE6 8950 was designed for mobile applications, thus the
13V and primarily for the "CB" market.

Has anyone converted a 8950 tube linear amplifier to use the 6LQ6 tube as a
substitute?
Would like to have your experience on this one.
Thanks
