We have tried the Svetlana 6L6GC in hifi and guitar amps. It is
excellent. A cross between NOS STR Sylvania 6L6GCs and the original RCA
blackplate 6L6GCs. Very durable, Dave Wolze put over 600 volts on the
plate with no complaints or red spots on the plate.

As for the 7591, I have been instrumental in the reissue of that tube.
Over two years ago, I met with Geoge Badger, President of Svetlana and
urged him to reissue this needed tube. Well, our prayers our answered, I
recently supplied several NOS samples of the 7591A to Svetlana which were
hand-carried to Russia to begin the reverse engineering process. I was
told by Svetlana officials that we will see the new 7591A re-issue
sometime in mid to late 1997.
