Hi Beth,

Thanks for your interest in my Kit 4.
I have just completed a re-build of my kit for and was looking for a set of nice NOS 6V6GT's to finish the project.
Unfortunately good NOS 6V6's are becoming more and more expensive so I started to look at cheaper alternatives!

The 6F6G's are slightly different in characteristics to the 6V6 but they sound great in the Kit 4. Extended High and Low frequency and very musical. They only lack the rich detail of a Kit 1 with 300B but I'm very happy with the results.
2 things to watch
1. 6F6G's draw 750mA heater current vs. 450ma for a 6V6.
Multiply the difference by 4 and that’s an extra 1 amp!
2. The 6F6G's are a lot taller than a 6V6 and you won’t be able to fit the lid on the box!

I hope this helps a bit, Russell
