Altogether, I bought two 6EH5s and one 6CA5. I already had a spare 6EH5, so, considering those alone, I had to try three to get one. If I count the 6CA5 that I bought, I had to try four to get one.
The 6CA5 IS very similar. Some sources do not even have the 6EH5 and refer you to 6CA5. The tube that originally manifested the problem was a 6CA5 that had been in the radio for many years before these symptoms appeared. Whether the difference in 6EH5 and 6CA5 is important here, I cannot say. I'll stick with 6EH5s in the future, while I can get them. For sources I've seen that have both, the price is the same. 73, Randy WB4SPB ----- Original Message ----- From: Al Al Out of curiosity, how many 6EH5 tubes did you have to go through to find a good one?
