6HS6 tubes

[Chuck Penson]

The 6HS6 is used in a number of Heath products (most notably the SB-102)
and is regarded as a rare tube.

While browsing at Radio Shack the other day I discovered they offer a
wide range of tubes through their Radio Shack Unlimited (RSU) mail order
service. I checked to see if they offered the 6HS6 and sure enough, they
list it for $7.99 plus tax and $1.00 shipping (one would do better on
shipping by buying several). I ordered just one to see what I would end
up with. Most of the other tubes listed did not strike me as much of a
bargain.

This find was significant to me because I have seen the tube weasels at
Dayton asking much more than that--if they have them at all.

I'll let you know what I get...
