Yes, but you have to modify the amps for those 12 volt tubes, no? These are definitely the same tubes I refer to Bryan, and the same that you have, the "black plastic base, green printing" gives them away. They are nice tubes though, no question, and kind of an underground quality NOS 6SN7 type. Not many people know of this tube, but it is in the near-upper echelon in terms of quality--in my opinion of course. Each of the short bottle 6SN7W's I've had were also dead quiet, which is NOT something you can say about most metal base 6SN7W's. Though the sonics of the latter are so superior, I can live with a bit of microphony. :-)

If you come across some--at a fair price!--I would definitely recommend the short bottle black base Sylvania 6SN7W's for A-S owners. My comments are based on experience with the M60 MkII amps I should note, can't comment on how they'd sound with the preamps.
