No not yet most were junk !
It is so important that I get there and get down machinery running that the mayor of the town is looking to find us a house now.
What a Hoot
The place will be the largest employer in this small town.

We are all rooting for you Glenn!! Hope the mayor finds you something nice, so you can move and be a big wig...a hero for getting the machinery going, and help to provide jobs!

How cool...!

.. I think I have just tube binge-bought. Is this hoarding?
I mean, I am just sat here and they are so cheap!

2x 6J7MG Visseaux (ping'd around here already I think)
2x KenRad VT-94 (6J5)
2x RCA 6C5 (beachball logo)
2x RCA VT-65 (6C5) (beachball logo)
... and 2x Phillips EL3N

They have not arrived, but here are the pix...

I know I'm a few days late on this, but it's not too late to say I am super excited to hear what you think about the meatball RCA 6C5/6J5's. If I remember correctly, your other RCA's of this type are much later production, so the comparison should be fun. There is something about these early 40's metal RCA's that I enjoy. And this has been true with 6BX7's, 6080's, 6AS7G's. Almost certainly not the best in any particular area, but they just sound right to me.

Yeah Ohio would be great, yourself and LOrdGwyn and myself and others.....Glenn you would be cool....just not BB King, John Lee Hooker and Willie Dixon By The Pool In Fine Ass Suits Cool

What do you think those 3 were talking about?

It's like those classic photos from Festival Express

Your enthusiasm for the metal-meatball (interesting image) RCAs has been an influence for sure. Can't wait to get 'em. It may be some time due to ... earth.

I have really been in love with metal GE 6C5s I got a few weeks back. If you come across 'em, grab em. Cheap and they just work for me. They are the 1st metal ones in this tube-family that have really taken me.

That said, I am presently enjoying these Sylvania 12J5GTs.

​

@GDuss - I hope your work has calmed enough for you to get some listening time.
@2359glenn - hope your house situation lands comfortably, soon, without too much more effort.
@JazzVinyl - you need to roll in some shouldered EL32s for a full shoulder compliment. That new 5694 is quite the looker .

Happy listening all. This morning's mellow space music...

Who knows, maybe debating whether they should shed their shoes and socks and roll their pant legs up so they could sit down by the pool and get their feet and legs wet.
Now that would have been a good picture!

It's good to know that it arrived safe and sound and is playing nice for you.

A small question: Is the CK5694 etching on the side of the glass or on top?

Finally have my HP set-up put back together and added my GOTL after it sat in the box for four months! Glenn delivered my amp while we were going through a house renovation so couldn’t use it until recently. The wait was painful but worth it. I’m now starting to play with the amp with various tube combinations and loving every minute. Hope everyone is managing well through your specific quarantine situation.

Interested to know your impressions with the Atticus, as thats what I have. Definitely interested in adding one of these beautiful machines to my setup.

Tonight's Glow is a beautiful one

It's on top, Ken...

Thanks. I have three 5694. One has the etching on the side and is dated 1954, week 24. However, the other two have the etching on top, but no date codes. Based on yours, I am inclined to believe that these two were manufactured sometime after 1954.
