George Wright WLA10 help needed

[frperdurabo]

I just got my Wright WLA10 preamp out of storage. Does anyone know what tubes it uses? (IIRC correctly they're TV sweep tubes). George W. passed away a few years ago.

TIA

I added pics (12/10/12) - also, the internet wayback machine has a page for Wright's WLV10 - a similar gizmo with an included phono section. The tubes it uses are:

2 x 5963

4 x 6ER5/EC95

1 x 6EA7/6EM7

1 x 6X4

AFAICT the 6x4 is a rectifier, and has a 7 pin base; there is a single 7 tube socket on this pre, and it looks like wires from the power transformer go to it. The other sockets are 9 pin.

Any internal pic's to help out?

I've got family visiting, but I'll try to get one up tomorrow.

I bet someone over at bottlehead.com would know. Worth a call or email for sure. I searched the BH forum and got zip.

Remember too that many sweep tubes are hard to come by. A lot of illegal CB linear amplifiers and some amateur radio gear used them and tended to be hard on them.
