Steve -

I don't know what if anything the mesh plates do for operation of the tube. I'd say stay with the major brands such as Sylvania, RCA, GE, Mullard, etc. The lesser brands MAY or MAY NOT have been built by one of the majors, but it's difficult or impossible to tell. Also, some tubes of any brand seem to be noisier than others in the 3rd Mixer position. I sometimes have to select from two or three to find a quiet one. The good news is, once you find a good one, it will last for many years.

I have a R4C and am going to replace the 6EJ7's in it.  In looking at the
pictures of these tubes it seems that most of them you can see the meshed
plate (that's what I think it is) through the glass and others the plate
looks just like normal.  Does it matter which style or type of 6EJ7 I put
into the R4C??
