Sort of the W54 tubes.....I have the same head with older tubes, and was just deciding to have the mods done to update it......yours would be a lower cost alternative for me.... If you are not sure which tubes are in there, please tell me the s/n and the configuration of the switches... what do the the switches do? My head will not allow me to put 1 or the other tube on independently.... will yours?
