[QUOTE="Ampdog, post: 913998, member: 144"] Kayc, A tough question. I have never encountered them used anywhere, and I come from the 'era'. Now I have not checked on prices for the 6SN7 lately, which is still used widely in valve amplifiers, even 'new' designs. I am unsure that should you ever want to build something requiring 6SN7s, it would be economical to up-convert heater voltage by some means or other just so as to use them. Also, should a replacement ever be needed, you are back to the same problem again. Similarly regarding flogging them - who would need them? But that is the option I would choose. It is just about impossible to predict who will want to buy them; as you say hardly ever 'in the news'. On the total cost of an amplifier, not an economical (loss) proposition to keep them for "in case". [/QUOTE]
