Let us know how the Soviet/Russian 6E5C tubes work out. I'm thinking about trying a couple of those, and making adapters for them.

I've found that metal tubes usually (not always, but usually) cost less than their G or GT glass counterparts. I just bought several for my RCA C15-3 so it would have all metal as per original (save for the 6E5 and 5Z3, that is).

Seeing your work on this set is making me want to get started on my T8-14, but I still have a big Hammarlund HQ-129-X on the bench so the RCA will have to wait.
