lipmanl, hi. That Gold Aero would actually wash RCA Special Red tubes and rebrand is quite something. Unmitigated gall comes to mind. You might compare with actual RCA branded Special Red 5691 as to actual tint of the base to make sure your tubes match. By your posted photo they do look to be RCA. The Special Red series were ruggedized - able to withstand greater vibration and mechanical shock, hence the additional support rods etc. Heater draw and max dissipation are not the same as non Special Red tubes but not enough different that you couldn't directly substitute.
