12 x 6L6GCs in my Traynor 300. Also my 1967 Traynor YBA3 recently had it's original tubes tested and they have lots of health in them still (working fan being the reason I think) ... Mullard Phillips 6CA7s and 12AX7s.

That CAN'T be right! Surely those tubes have been changed every 12 months!

Thanks everyone for posting these tube pics.
Maybe my better half would like a nice set of 12AX7 earrings?

That's an interesting layout. Almost seems like an afterthought, like they just decided to use parts they already had to make a new amp. Makes economic sense I suppose, but seems a little odd.

Here’s part of ENIAC. ENIAC had 17,468 tubes. Some computers used by NORAD had over 70,000 tubes.

Imagine you had a dud. It'd be like to trying to find the broken bulb in an old set of christmas tree lights!
