    You don't have any 6C10's tucked away anywhere, do you? ISTR you mentioning you used to have a Super Champ (or two).

    Unfortunately not... or I might do but it wouldn't be much use. On my last Super Champ the 6C10 went noisy and I couldn't get a spare at the time, so I converted it to a 12AX7 - by borrowing half of the reverb driver valve for the reverb return, you then only need two triodes. I'm really not sure why they didn't design it like that in the first place!

    I think I kept the 6C10, I can have a look if you like - but if so, the triode that's either the intermediate gain stage or the phase inverter is noisy... I seem to remember a 'loose valve' type rattle that comes out through the speaker and not just mechanically.

    Not to worry - all's well at the moment, I was just thinking ahead. I ought to pick up a couple now and stash them for when I need them.
