Addendum...for those who can speak to the tube selection issues. I went NOS on these after arrival. Currently sporting a Westinghouse 12ax7 in the pre, RCA 6v6 (shorter than a modern JJ ?!) and a RCA 5Y3GT. All three, old relics from a local amp guy here in Chicago.
At low volumes, with the guitar volume rolled back, she's clean and quiet as can be. I'm impressed.
