7027A Tubes which is best?.

[Knightt150]

Hello: I am wanting to purchase 2 new 7027A tubes, has anyone used the J/J the CHECX tubes and if so have you had good luck with them. I can get off of ebay some RCA's for about $200 bucks that seems a little steep for a pair.

I Tried RF parts they are sold out and Antique Eletronics only has the J/J tubes is there a better source for the 7027A's

 I have 2 new 6550's I would like to trade for 2x7027A's I know this is not the traders net so I will pay for new ones.

Never used those brands but I sub in 6L6GCs for 7027's. I still have a few US-made 7027As installed in Stromberg-Carlson hi-fi amps.

I have an adapter kit you can use w8th some late production 6BG6GAs  I have.  These have the same internals as a 7027A with 35 watt plates.  More info is at http://www.vacuumtubes.com/6BG6.html
