Default Raytheon 6SN7's

what are they worth? And guitar amos use these? Thanks ...M.M.


They are common twin-triodes that appear in a lot of audio gear, including
church organs. The Raytheon units tended to have more heater-to-cathode
leakage problems than the other American types, but definitely have less
than the modern Russian ones.

Since the Russians currently make an excellent 6SN7, I think the market
for old pulls is somewhat limited. But throw them up on Ebay and see if
anyone bites.
