Help ID a tube (6BQ5)

[grafxdesin]

Any idea what type of tubes these are? They might be shot as well, so I might need a nice replacement.

took one look i thought el84 .so may well be 6bq5 as you say ..

What makes you think they are shot? They could be, but the silver flashing on top looks good. Look in between the base pins. Is there a symbol visible in the glass?

Whats the make and model of the unit that it was pulled it from?

The smoke looks like a Mullard, but the pointed pins and saucer getter make me think russia or china. I bet it's still good though, just a hunch.

flying saucer getters......Russian or Chinese me thinks.

Ha ! ya beat me by seconds jay !!! take a wild guess where I learned that !

 

[RossW]

Pointy pins, saucer getter, and smokey would suggest Russian IMO.

It's from a Silvertone 29 Amp, I believe from the late 50's but I don't think the tubes are original, but I could be wrong. I have four from this unit and the all have a number on the bottom, 10, 22, 50, 23.

Sears model numbers usually consist of two or three numbers
followed by a decimal point, then some more numbers afterwards.
I think this is what you have, the tube complement is listed.

That is the unit but those are not the tubes, so it looks like they are not the originals.

Does it have a couple 7199 short 9 pin tubes in it?
