Hi,
I am almost ready to power up the 38-3 on a Variac.
The only tube I am missing from my set is the 6H6G.
I have several 6H6 metal ones, but they will not fit into the box shield base. Even cutting down the tube base it wtill not fit.

I searched thru my tubes and didn't have a 6H6G, so what I want to know is if that tube would interchange directly, or is there something attached to the metal housing and cause a problem? I say no, but I want to make sure.

I don't like to modify a set too much, but if I expand the opening on the tube shield base, a shorty 6H6 would go in. The shield would hide the expansion, so that if I eventually got the correct glass tube, I"d still be able to use the shield.

Thanks guys,
Gary.
