Chris G	Re: 6AU6 to 12AX7 replacment G.W. Thanks for the reply,I have tried nos 6au6, still hums when you turn up the volume. The amp it's in is an old Exselsior 1x12 combo,I was hopeing to just punch new hole and re-wire,without removing the entire part of the circut. the only positive is it's the input tube or v1.The 2 other pre-amp tubes are 12ax7's I thought that by useing the same type I might loose the hum.
