I had a few hundred 6SN7 tube pulls. A few years ago, I went through the
entire box looking for a metal 6SN7, for the visual effect in a homebrew
regen. I could not find any. I thought I recalled seeing one, too.

Sadly, this may be the first positive proof that the memories of all the
old timers are collectively failing at the same time.

Not too long ago, I built a regen using a 6SJ7. I knew I had a red RCA
somewhere and looked and looked to no avail. Finally, when I was looking
for something else, I came upon the red one. Sure looks pretty.

Regarding the old timers collective memory failing - NOT GOOD - I am only
49. I came in with tubes and solid state - though I had access to tons of
tube sets and items associated. Darned it Colin, I was feeling younger than
my age - til I read that!

I've got to dig out my box of tubes, the curiousity is really getting to me.
