This Lot of Two U.S.-made Type 27 ST glass tubes was tested on my Hickok 800 for shorts, gas and transconductance.  There were no shorts or gas. Transconductance measured:

Tube One:  800 micromhos (Zenith stenciled on base w/code R5R & M-R Maintenance - Repair; 27 stenciled on glass)
Tube Two:  550 micromhos (Ken-Rad engraved on base w/code E7; 27 stenciled on glass)

New/nominal is within one standard deviation of 1000 micromhos. I wish I could tell you how they sound, but I do not have a preamp that can run these.  Both have bottom D foil getter.  This Lot is good for repairmen and DIYers who are working on equipment.

I have a number of Type 27s in my store, including matched pairs, please view to see if any fit your equipment needs.
