No shorts observed

No leakage observed

The Triplett 3444 reference used for this test indicates approximately 2,100 µmhos as minimum good and approximately 4,100 µmhos as average new. This tube measured above that average-new reference.

The exact numerical readings and photographs are provided so the buyer can choose with confidence.

This listing is for one tube.

The 6V6GT is widely used in vintage and modern audio equipment. A single tube is well suited to compatible single-ended amplifiers such as many Fender Champ, Vibro Champ and 5F2-A Princeton-style circuits, along with other equipment specifically designed for one 6V6GT. Amplifiers using two output tubes generally require a properly matched pair, so buyers should verify the requirements of their exact amplifier before ordering.

This tube is being sold as a strong-tested vintage tube. Because its complete prior-use history is unknown and the box is a replacement box, it is not being represented as documented NOS.

The photographs show the exact tube the buyer will receive.

Carefully protected and securely packed for shipment.
