It’s just a Tesla 6L6-GC with two extra pins.
I can’t think of any apps where 6L6-GC
wouldn’t work just as well as 7027.

before spending any time worrying about 7027’s..

The 7027A had higher ratings,
and it was also rerated
under a different ratings system.
The Tesla 7027 has the higher ratings.
There were not a lot of old straight 7027
made, when people refer to 7027 they are almost
invariably talking about the later version, even if
if they don’t mention the “A”.

At any rate, IMHO, the 7027 was YARCAMS
“Yet Another RCA Marketing Scam”
and basically a big waste of time & cause
for lots of unnecessary confusion
amongst consumers, to no-one’s benefit but RCA’s..

Buy the Book!

I cleaned up my tab for Sonny Boy's Help Me and made it into a short book. There's a Kindle version for 99 cents, and if you buy the paperback you get the Kindle free.

Playing "Help-Me" In the Style of Sonny Boy Williamson II: A step by step, note for note analysis of some of Sonny Boy's Signature Riffs
