"4. I set up the triode strapped 6AV5 at a couple of operating points specified for the 6B4G (g1 V & plate V) and compared resulting plate current. Surprisingly, the current was reasonably close to what was specified for a 6B4 under these conditions. Obviously, a couple of points is not a set of curves but I believe there's more than coincidence at work here. Maybe Sylvania or whomever was justified in using a triode strapped 6AV5 as a modern day replacement for the 6B4G in govt apps. Wonder if discerning ears could tell the difference?"Keep in mind that real 6B4Gs vary from the nominal spec too. There's a wide variation in what the actual tubes perform at vs. spec. So a 6AV5 that's close would undoubtedly work fine. Tone quality? I don't know, never heard one...
