Valve Substitutions.

[Joe]

What I hoping to do with this thread is collate information on valves which can be used to replace a different type even though they aren't official equivalents.

To start the ball rolling here are a few I know of:-

A 10P13 is a drop-in replacement for a UL41 - Source: Steve_P.
A 6CH6 has the same characteristics as a KT61 - Source: Crawthorne Tubes.
A 6BW6 is a Noval version of a 6V6G - Source: National Valve Museum.

6F6 will replace a 6V6, be aware that the heater current of the 6F6 is higher than that of the 6V6, I have a couple of 6F6's as push pull subs. for push pull 6V6's in a Hallicrafters.
