[Heathkit] Question on 6146A Tube

[solo22@sbcglobal.net]

Being a cheap S.O.B., I'd say put 'em on a good tube tester, see how 
closely the test to each other. If reasonable "I'd plug 'em in!" Your 
book tells you how to neutralize. I used to be a T.V. man years ago 
"Many years ago" I heard then that tube company shared tubes. If 
Balogny1Tube Company ran out of 6146's and weren't setup for them, 
they'd call Silly Sausage3 Tube company and buy a batch from them, then 
put their own labels on them. That's what I heard and I believe it! It's 
called simple cheap economics. But do as you wish and good luck to you. Ron
