Gee, that makes two of us.  Every guitar amp in the world is full of
12AX7's and 6L6's so what show up on my door?  A cheap two tube amp where
the front end is some wierd low noise pentode that goes for $45.00 in the
unlikely event that I can find one.  That is also why I no longer own a
McIntosh 225: those four sold gold 7591's.

I have a pair of matched Sylvania 6JB6's that I will either put in one
of my Drakes or sell to fund my retirement, whichever comes first.  Now
just suppose we could make a Bugle Boy stencil then we could all increase
the value of the various twin triodes lying around in the junk box.
