Dear Uncle Ned

You seem to have all the inside info (are you in the trade?)- especially if you know info as to where the warehouse is and who lives there. Well, if that is the case. Hey! You are absolutely right and I am wrong. I can only rely on info from hear say and the web. I sure am surprised that New Sensor is so far off the mark with their website. Am I right that they own both EH and Sovtek Brand?

I called the bottle shaped KT88 type for the lack of a better word. It is definitely not a standard 6550 bottle which we have come to expect. What would you call the shape of the bottle for the mass media who may not know what Tungsol bottle shape looked like. But you are right again that it indeed looks like a cross between KT88 and Tungsol 6550 bottle. I think you are missing the point though.

The Svet 6550 when the stocks were running low were quoted at a price of $60. The dealer even told me to hurry before they are all out. Yes, you are right again, I have not checked the current prices before I posted in AA.

Thanks for the link, it is most valuable.

Hope to exchange more post from you in the AA.

Cheers
