Notes: These Tung-Sol JAN (CTL) 6SU7GTY's are the Best of the Best High-end Pre-Amp audio tube special versions of the 6SL7GT (70/70 Mu) tube which is the predecessor tube of the more common 12AX7. The Tung-Sol JAN (CTL) 6SU7GTY's were specially factory selected for very tight plate matching for Transconductance(Gm)&mA emissions of 3% or less and were burned in at the factory for > 48 hours before pre-selection. At the factory for the Military Contract lots they placed small square sticker indicating Gm&mA on 2 sides of the base, then QA matched them up and removed the stickers before packing. We just finished testing 12 of these dated from 1945-52 and all have small residue on the bases from the stickers that we removed. We are listing closely matched plate singles and pairs with matched plates of this tube type. If you need more than follow us on eBay as we are listing all 12. Our Test Bench : TV7D/U Restored, Enhanced & Upgraded( Digital Meter and solid state bridge) Dan Nelson Calibrated( 07/24/2023). Calibration re-verified on 01/06/2024 & on 6/03/2024. Our TV7D/U reads Transconductance(Gm) on a scale of 0-120 (push button #3, for rectifiers button #7). This TV7D/U will read mA plate current emissions directly by depressing Gm button and the red button on the digital meter, We use the last published xls spreadsheet by Nolan Lee to transpose actual TV7 digital meter readings 0-120 into actual Transconductance(Gm) #'s in uMhos based upon the selector switch setting A-F. All versions of TV7's and most Hickok designed tube testers will test tubes at a maximum of 150V Plate Volts and Grid #2 at 130V volts and Control Grid #1 (Bias control) at ranges from 0 to -30Volts.
