Nothing like a couple of 6c33c-b's to keep the Mig warm. The headphone amp I'll have at VSAC uses a couple too. I've been using the 6c33c (earlier than the c-b, made up to the late '70's). The have a slightly different plate structure and have higher dampening. You can identify them by a "Y" label rather than a winged C (Svet,can be unreliable) or the no label like your's probably have. You can also tell them from a distance (or a photo on a forum) by the 3 tits on top are different sizes (one is erect while the other two are flacid).The "Y" tubes are getting tougher to find but usually go for the same price when you stumble on a pair. I'll let you give em a try.
Love the amp BTW!
