That's probably wise




As posted in the original Dynaco ST-70 manual, KT-66 was an acceptable "emergency" substitute for the EL-34, but the KT-66 is a more robust tube, voltage wise, than the average 6L6.

If you're really curious, you might run the idea by Jim McShane. He handles the Gold Lion KT-66, of course, but he also has some tilted bottle 6L6GC-STR Tung-Sol reissues on sale at the moment for the bargain price of $35.50 per pair. If Jim thinks they'll handle the ST-70s 410 VDC on the plates, they might be interesting to experiment with.

If he gives you the green light, and you don't care for them in your ST-70, they'd be good back-ups for your Mac.
