If you like the tone of the KT-77, you may like the tone of good set of 6CA7's. Just a thought.

Thanks

Ceramic plates ? LOL ! Don't you mean ceramica spacers ? Bendix 6384 may be similar but I'm not too sure the pinout fits
GEC/MOV was the only manufacturer to produce a KT77 excluding modern versions . Sylvania etc did the 6CA7 and 7581 , both beam tetrodes like the KT77

Yeah, those ceramic plates hold up to the the heat real good, but they don't quote conduct as well as the metal ones. Oh well. Gotta take the bad with the good, I guess.

Do you mean Bendix tube equivalent? Check the link. I do not know of any EL34/KT77/6CA7 Bendix equivalent tube. I have used their 5992, 6094, 6900 and 6106 rectifiers. They are great tubes. Note, none were originally designed for audio use. Some parameters differ from near audio equivalent. Such as the 5992. You need to run them at lesser plate voltage (than Fender OEM specs, for instance) and lower idle bias than the 6V6GT's were originally set at, in order to get the best tone and life outta them.
Check the data sheet before plugging them into the sockets, jsut to be sure.
