About the only physical difference I can see is that the Tube Depot site says theirs has Double D getters, while the ones I have have a quad of D getters. Mine more closely match the drawing in the Bendix 6106 data sheet though.I wonder why New Sensor didn't just remove the 5AR4 stencil from the base and sell them as what they were?
"No wonder one went kablooey!" Yeah, no kidding. The voltage, combined with a first cap of 40 uF in my amp, while the 6106 data sheet says 4 uf, you're right, no wonder!
Thank you very much. I'd have probably never found that on my own. Much appreciated!
