@noromance Beautiful piece of gear!  Thanks for sharing the photo.  Love the eye tube too!  Does it ’close’ (or is it open?) at 325v?

Zoiks; 82 years old!  It’s not a competition, but wow, that’s old...and no doubt great.

Ken Rad JAN 6SN7 VT-231 black glass, military stock from 1944. One pair in an LTA Aero, and one pair in an LTA microZOTL L3. I like them better than the Ray Reserves — slightly wider/deeper soundstage, better imaging and decay.
