As these particular tubes are abundantly available (NOS and tested) is their any particular brand you would choose? Sylvania, RCA, ect ect.
Any particular getter suggested over another?
Is there something I should know about which type would work best for the Demco modulator and it's particular application?
 

The name printed on a tube only tells you who packaged it for sales and distribution, not who made it.

I predict you'll be hard pressed to find any measurable performance change from one brand to the next.

Very good. I'll just purchase both of them from the eBay tube seller with the most sales and best feedback. Thank you nomad. 73

    I will not be there but hopefully by the end of this month I will have my New tower and antennas back in the air including my M2 6M5X. The old tower and all of my antennas came down in October 2023 during a Hurricane.
