I do but am unwilling to pull it out. Let me use a mirror and a flashlight - I always wright the value with a marker.
OK, it is 1120, the 6A8 was NOS bought from Oldradioparts.
Also I think the radio is not as sensitive as it should be on Foreign. Maybe it is my imagination.
PS. Well, I wrote the guy and told him that I usually do not buy things that say "NOS guaranteed" only to return it and pay money for it. Considering the price (yes it was cheap - no one bidded but me) I will loose 75% of what I pay only to return it, and this will include packing and the trip to the Post Office. It is easier for me to keep the tube.
After all the tube served its purpose - it proved that my hunch was correct and the pentagrid was acting up. At some point I will buy a new one that is really new. Or better yet a used one that tests well.
