Vinylear Posted March 28 Posted March 28 I'm surprised our valve officionados haven't replied to this question.
krazywaffle Posted March 28 Author Posted March 28 @xlr8or @Odyssey Might you be aware of any such 6BW6 to 6V6 adapter base? Might a EL84 to 6V6 adapter work? Or is the 6BW6 pin out different? https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/314945300233 Thanks.

I've not seen a 6BW6 tube adapter going from a 9-pin mini to an octal base. Only the other way around as per below. https://tubeadapter.com/home/ols/products/360547102-1pc-gold-plated-6061-6bw6-to-6v6-tube-converter-adapter 1

If in doubt, consult Eric. He knows practically everything.
