Those Gm readings are not absurdly high....

many 6sl7, 7f7's will read this high, particularily Sylvanias if they are new....I cannot say exactly what she is reading...

However I do have a Genuine, calibrated tall bottled Sylvania 6SL7 Bogey tube from the 60's...never used for other than calibration and tester comparisons...it is very informative...

Almost all new 6SL7's are at least 20% high, and most Sylvania are 33% high ::: this is nothing new...this high range Gm gives you longer tube life, and less noise typically.

Sincerely,
