Question about 6973 vacuum tube

[guitarleeman]

 Hey this is guitarleeman.I have an amp Im trying to get working.It uses 2  6973 power tubes. It's missing 1. Does anybody know if you could use EL84's for substitutes? Im sure something would have to be rewired.

Depending on the circuit you might be able to change the pinout to EL84s but I really don't think so.

6973s used to be vvvveeeeerrrrryyyy hard to find until last year. EHX started getting them from Russia and you can find them at http://store.triodestore.com/69elrmapa.html. I got some from the about 2 weeks ago for my 1965 Gretsch 6162 2 x 10" amp. Good prices and prompt delivery.

What kind of amp do you have?

i had a blue supro that used those, i think.  they were extremely hard to find, and that amp really rocked.
