Ah. I'd almost be willing to try the Chinese 50's in my Majestic if I could find a source and get my money ahead. The local guitar shops sell the chinese and russian 6L6 tubes and I think 12AX7's for rather affordable prices compared to NOS American tubes. A friend of mine plays guitar and he always seems to have a box laying around from matched 6L6 tubes.

The Shuguang tubes are very good, China. Don't know if they are making 50's now.
