The Sovtek 7199 didn't always work as advertised. It seems to be a repined 6BL8 or similar. 6U8s and 6GH8s do seem to work in most apps but they aren't pin compatible. There are adaptors out there but the few I've seen are a bit pricy @ $15-$20. My inclination would be to rewire under chassis permanently for 6GH8 if it were my personal equip.

Some Dynacos used it.
The 6AN8 works OK but I've had hum problems from a few of them. It has a unique pinout too. The nice thing about the 6GH8/U8 etc is that they share a common pinout so availability is a much smaller issue. Also permits tube rolling with ease.

6GH8 and 6AN8 tri-pents are getting quite hard to come by in anything other than onesy-twosy quantities. And while 6U8s are not scarce yet the supply will be exhausted quickly as people sub them for other tri-pents.
