Derrick	ware to find 6SJ7 I have an old Gibson GA-30 fron late 50's (?) that needs two 6SJ7 tubes. Does anyone know were to find them, or a good substitution for them? Thanks     -Derrick

Doc	The 6SJ7 is an octal-based tube with a black metal envelope. It's a sharp-cutoff pentode, and there really isn't a plug-in substitute.     There are plenty of them still around, and not expensive.     Try websites for Triode Electronics, Angela Instruments, and Antique Electronic supply. Some, or all, of these have links in the AMPAGE Resource or Suppliers section.     Doc
