Tube Karma pair of Vintage RCA 6CG7/6FQ7's

medium jim · « **on:** 21 May 2013, 04:29 pm »

Okay, I have a mismatched pair of early 1960's RCA 6CG7/6FQ7's....one has black plates and a halo top getter and measures 120/110 and the other is a Clear Top with side getter and it reads 115/122. They were measured for Mutual Conductance on my Eico 667 where 80 is borderline weak/good. No shorts or leaks.

I fired them up in my preamp and they sounded really nice and were balanced channel to channel. They are nice and linear and presented a very silent and black soundfloor. If you want them pick a number between 1-30 and if all numbers are not spoken for by 6/15/13 a winner will be selected from those who put their name in the hopper.

Standard rules apply...must be a member in good standing and have at least 10 posts.

Jim

Note: I straightened the pins on the clear top....

Steve:

If you win, you can try them and if you don't like them, Karma them again or Karma the ones they replace

Medium Jim has asked me to end this Karma BUT I've got a spare set.
Number 7 is still available as I'm not going to be in it for obvious reasons!

Same tube type as medium jim had posted ?

SteveFord · « **Reply #10 on:** 22 May 2013, 10:20 pm »

Yeah, clear tops.
I have two pair at the moment, one for me and one to continue this.

Very generous of you to put yeur 2nd set up to continue this. If i could use them, I'd take that #7.
Someone better snap it up, it's the lucky #

LAST CALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did the old toilet bowl flush roulette and whichever number came bobbing back up is the winner.

Lucky 7 is the one who didn't make the trip down to Davey Jones' Locker so here it is, Captainhemo wins TWICE in one day.

You must have been a good boy or something and I lucked out as the number was ink side up so I didn't have to fish it out.

PM your shipping details and I'll get these off to you next week.

ArthurDent,
Come on down, Captainhemo doesn't need them after all so you are the winner of my RCAs!

Send me a PM and I'll get them out to you.

Congrats ArthurDent, glad they are going to someone who can put them to use

Thanks Steve and Jay. Am looking forward to see how they sound in my T-8. Hopefully this tube rolling thing doesn't become too habit forming, seems like it could get expensive. Think I'll pick up a lottery ticket as well.
