I like the TAD 6L6GC tubes in my 240

I want to close this thread by showing all of you the magnificent job Carl did on my broken case. My MA5100 is safely and beautifully ensconced in its new home and I have been listening to and staring at it since I got it home. I swear it sounds better with the restored case. Carl, true...

Thanks for the ID

Here are the photos The top was pulled off, the panlock mounting on one side was ripped out.
