Why bother?  The 6LB6 is listed as a "Good" substitute, NOT an EXACT=20
substitute.  Use a 6JS6...The tube that the rig was designed around.

International Tubes sells tubes made in Japan that work quite well.  I have=

original "Green Banded" tubes that kept as spares for my old FT1=D81E.  I no=

longer have the rig, but still have the tubes.  A great rig...The old 1=D81=

series.    Why mess with something good?
