Re: Which Chassis to drive a 25" A63ABZ26X ?

Thanks... I will be using an Amplifone Chassis to drive this tube..... If the connector is a different shape/type, I will make it fit :-)

I am hoping that the 25" A63ABZ26X has the same angle as the 25" Amplifone tube A63AAX00X - Is this correct ? - I've got conflicting information again on this.....

My only problem will then be converging the thing !!!!

Thanks, Colin

  My bad. I should have caught that. I always use the 3rd edition of that manual. The others are unreliable. -Malcolm

    Thanks,

    I found another pdf of the manual - The pinouts in the 2nd edition wg6100
    manual were completely wrong - 3rd edition pinouts for th 6100 tube match
    the amplifone tube now :-)
