Len, didn't you have a picture comparing construction of the true bad boy versus the bottom getter Sylvania GT (VT231)?
I think this is a result of an ad for "Bad Boys" on another site. T plate 3 rivet tubes but with a top getter and significant flashing. These are clearly not Bad Boys but possibily the early GT or perhaps more likely the early style GTA given the date codes he mentions. He doesn't show the top etching. I wrote to him and he has ammended his ad.
In any event I too prefer this style of tube for it's clarit, imagery and speed.

That is how I got mine. They still show up but my tube collecting has come to an abrupt halt.
Ya. Here's the pic. I actually have dissected pics of every major 6SN7, but I've been too lazy to write a webpage about it ;)
So are you saying that these two examples are the same tube???
Yes, this post was a result of an ad posted on "another" site that listed the tubes as "bad boys". They had the three rivet hole black T plates but with a top getter flashing. I could not find the original ad today, or it has been amended.
Every so often a bad boy comes up on Ebay and the seller doesn't know what he has and the buyers are asleep or something. I've gotten 7 of them that way over the last 3-4 years, but the most recent was not recently.
