New Sensor's "reissue" Gold Lion N709 EL84/6BQ5 equivalent is a very nice tube. However, it can't take abuse.
Your Sherwood S5000 must be equipped with 7189 equivalents, as the O/P tubes are worked VERY hard. These days, "the only game in town" is the EL84M (6p14p-ev). Be grateful that good sounding tubes appropriate to the unit are being produced and sold at reasonable cost. A lot of nice, vintage, amps would be "parted out", if not for the EL84M.
