Found an old projector, Graflex Model Super 15, had a little mono tube int amp inside.

Pulled 2 Sylvania 6BQ5's (yellow lettering with 'S' in a shield with a lightning bolt), and 1 Sylvania 6CA4 and 6AN8 (same shield, green lettering).

Anything cool or special here?

Cheers,
Russ

6BQ5 = EL84, those could be useful.

6An8 is used in some older stereo gear

not bad for a free score.

The 6AN8 in a triode pentode, it amplified the signal and sent it to the power tubes, the 6BQ5s. The 6BQ5s will have the same basic power as the PP 6BM8 in case you were wondering about the kind of wattage you might get.
