So I wanted to try some tube rolling on my moreplay and ordered a set of "National Union NOS" tubes. I saw on the pic that they do not have the guide for positioning but thought I could still make them work would just need to be very careful with the positioning.
What I did not realize is that the pins a larger than the ones in the moreplay :( is it possible to use a adapter to use these ? I did not pay too much for them so was worth the gamble but was wondering if anyone have used similar tubes.
I am new to all this so might also be that the description on EBAY was completely off :P

The tube designator is marked on the glass envelope which is not legible in your photo. Those tubes most definitely are not 6V6 tubes !

:P
Only thing I see on the glass is 6C6 :P live and learn I guess

6C6 = Poor mans WE310A. I use them to drive a 2A3 in SE operation, quite common circuit back in the day. Build one up I think you might be surprised.

That tube is a totally different design than a 6v6. It uses a top cap for one of the connections and it is a 6 pin layout. It will not work and I suggest you go back to the person that sold it as a 6v6 on ebay and ask for a refund.

Its a pity clearly marked at 6v6 on his listing :P
I think ill keep em and find a use down the road, they are pretty haha
Building a Stereomore next have ordered it last week so should ship soon, I can't wait :)

Follow up question, is there a better place to buy tubes ? I have seen them mostly on ebay :P
-
There are tons and tons of decent tubes available on eBay.
