I meant who,not why.LOL
They read made in USA and they sound absolutely incredible and they came in a factory built Deuce I got on Ebay a few years back. They look like GEs or possibly Sylvanias but the bottom taper is what's throwing me.It seems to me that one of the plate holes are rectangular but I would have to dig them out again to verify it.

I have some 6550s with that plate structure but the base is metal not plastic.
guys will chime in.
If so, they were in a problematic Marshall that a neighbor asked me to look at some years ago.
Mike, I don't think I've ever seen a US made 6550 without a metal base.
Peavey used to sell "Super 65" 6550 tubes that kinda had similar internal guts as your tubes. I believe they were made in China.
They may be labeled USA but there were not that many US 6550's and I've never seen any like that. The base is unusual too.
As long as they sound good......
Yes, as long as they sound good...
A Cary SLI-80, for instance, is an intricate device - it tends to sound better with some modern tubes (like Treasure Shuguang KT88-Z) than with vinatge TS 6550 or GEC KT-88... It's purely subjective, though...
Alex, it's just great to have excellent new production tubes. :-)
Yes.
