Derek at Watford Valves advises that the Philips ECG WGB run fine in pretty much any guitar amp, even the crazy high voltage late 70s Fenders.
And a mere £50 each!
He better puts his prices up before they migrate back across the pond

Deluxe Reverb power transformer change?

Re: Deluxe Reverb power transformer change?
Yeah look at that.
His prices are quite good on that tube compared to some other places over here. I was told by the seller for my pair to not push them much past 470vdc and I was right at that threshhold. So, being that I will never need anywhere near the full clean headroom (at any plate voltage) then, I may as well give them a little break and maybe see an extra year two or three from them.
I have the pair at about 445vdc plate and biased around 65%. Sounds nice n big n bold. And still loud.
Best,
Phil D
