Fender while I haven't compared them yet. In addition to the Tung-Sol "flat-plate" or "ribbed-plate" as Tre' called them! I also have the 5687WA and 5687WB tubes. In fact I have to try the Bendix 6900 tubes in the driver position again now that I've gone back to single, fullrange, drivers in horns once again. 6 months ago I had to sell my Sachikos due to rising medical bills, and so for the past 6 months I was using Spatial Audio M3 Turbo S, OB speakers.
However try as I might via exchanging tubes and wires I just couldn't get the correct synergistic match in my system with the Spatial Audio M3 speakers. It was either that or it was my ear was fixed on the sonic traits of single, fullrange, drivers in horns. To that end I'm now using Lowther DX4 drivers ---{with the large wooden, mushroom-shaped, phase plugs}--- loaded in both front & back-loaded horns in Beauhorn Virtuoso speakers!

Very tough tubes, as well as nice repro of music.
A long time ago, I help build a Matchless Hotbox knockoff pedal, using two TS 5687WA. The pedal owner has carted it around the country, dropping and abusing it -- from gig-to-gig and home-to-home. Last I heard, it's still working fine.
Good to see you back here, Tom. Hope all is well.
Thanks Todd. I've been going through some health problems, but things seem better lately!
