>>>Murali, Tremolux:
Would it be safe to try these 6EY6’s in a brownface deluxe which has
fixed bias?

Yes, providing that you have the bias reset. Your tech will have to
change a fixed resistor on the board in the amp’s bias supply to get a
little more negative voltage on the grids. They should be biased at the
same idle current as a real 6V6. They work just fine and sound great.
Actually, the Tung Sol 6EY6s are quite a bit beefier in construction than
a 6V6. The 6EY6’s fatter cathode should provide higher saturation current
as well!

Tremo.
