It has dual triodes (which is normal for 6sn7, 6as7g, etc) meaning one triode will pull left and the other triode right channel duties. Versus that rare tube (like the 6J5) which only has one triode. You'd need two of those tubes, one for left and another for right. Speaking of that listing I posted..50 is considered a low number and anything above 70 is considered NOS. So this is a very weak tube. HOWEVER. That's just test numbers. imo you can still get some enjoyment off tubes tested this low. How bad you want a tube determines it's worth. Is a low tested tube worth the asking price? All subjective.Yes, it looks like it will go on to a high price. What does this description mean, 48/44, and why does it speak in the plural for one tube "each tube"? It's not NOS, but are these readings "NOS-like" or much below?
"Western Electric 5998/421A Vacuum Tube Tested. Each tube exceeded the minimum value listed in the Department of the Army technical bulletin. Triode 1/Triode 2 tested values: 48/44. All tubes were tested on TV-7D/U."
