Anyone know what the originals were? Thanks!   Anonymous Posted on Tuesday, February 17, 2004 - 08:54 am:    Yeah. The original were the ones that came with the amp from the factory.   Anonymous Posted on Tuesday, February 17, 2004 - 12:27 pm:    Back with you - I couldn't really understand your message. Are the Raytheons I have in there now the originals? I'm trying to gauge the current age of the tubes I have in the amp right now, but have no idea what the originals were. Thanks again for your patience - this is my first MM and I'm trying to learn as much about it as possible!!!   Langley Posted on Wednesday, February 18, 2004 - 01:19 pm:    I've not seen raytheon's as OEM distribution in MusicMan amps. The 6CA7 originals that I've come across have , for the most part, been Sylvanias.   Anonymous Posted on Wednesday, February 18, 2004 - 01:24 pm:    Thanks Langley - I appreciate it! -Christian   michael kuas Posted on Thursday, February 19, 2004 - 07:10 am:    Most of the NEW series amps I've seen-rp's, rd's, etc., had 6l6's in them. You might want to look in the chart if it's still around and see if your amp is SUPPOSED to have that tube in it. A lot of people replace the 6l6's by accident, thinking MM all use 6ca7's. Just a thought. Mike.   Michael Kaus Posted on Thursday, February 19, 2004 - 05:38 pm:    My god, is that bad- I misspelled my OWN NAME!   Steve Kenendy see?
