Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

RE: Is it unusual for old 6550's...

Old plastic gets brittle in time. Maybe the extra fat base of the 6550 puts more stress on the keyway if the tube is rocked. Most octal tubes have smaller OD on the base.

I keep some of these replacement keyway doohickeys around...they come in handy.
