Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

They should be fine ...

... but I know it bugs me a bit, too, when they aren't identical as to construction. Many sellers would not have noticed (or even known about) the differences you mentioned.

My joke based on my recent ebay tube buying experiences: What do you call two RCA 5963 bp's with two top micas and square getters on a post with a cross bar, two RCA 5963 gp's with single micas and square getters at 45's off the top mica, and a GE five-star 12au7a?

Answer: A sleeve of matched NOS, NIB Raytheon triple mica 5814aw's! ; )

(In the interest of balance, there are some good deals and many good sellers there but I've had sort of an 'iffy' streak, lately. Seems I never know what I'm going to get anymore.)
