      Yup,a preamp utilizing #76s feeding 2C22s (7193). B+ regulated by the gas VR tubes. Best sounding to my ears as compared with a number of preamps including a Cary SLP-98. has switchable B+ depending on the VR tubes. I like the look of the OA3 compared with the OC3s is why I'm running the lower B+.

    I have several 801A tubes. everytime I start looking into building a new amp I consider using them but haven't yet. Maybe someday I'll get around to trying them.

  Push pull stereo HY69 amplifier and it's power supply. The HY69 is a directly heated pentode, here triode connected.

  Could you post a photo of the underside of the PCB to show how the socket is connected to the terminals?
  
  What kind of tube is it?

    Here is the underside of the pcb. I got these on ebay a few years ago but they would be easy enough to make with just a few parts.

    Hey Ray
    
    The tube is a GU-4 transmitting triode made in Russia for the military.
    It has a standard 4 pin base but only has 3 pins.
    I have never seen one before I ran across it purly by accident on ebay.
