  • More junk than I know what to do with...
Here is an ebay sellers description of a 5654 tube.  Copied word for word.

"Brand new and high quality
The US GE 5654W is a new original box sixties with the same batch of tubes, the sound of a comprehensive soft, delicate, toxic sound tube. Precise matching pipe, please rest assured to buy.
 
The new original GE produced the United States JAN-5654W, jun-level audio tube can be directly upgraded substitution 6J1 / EF95 / CV4010 / 6AK5 / CV403A / CV403B / 6 m 1, sound transparent rounded, bile rich, High-frequency slender soft, IF magnetic, low-frequency potential deep without losing flexibility. Is a 6J1 made in China, 6 meters in Russia 1 upgrade replacement products can also be directly replaced 403A / 403B / EF95 and ordinary 5654 / 6J1. Large ring, enhanced mica, green powder word + matte word mark.
 
This is a coward, absolutely bag true. GE / 5654W for the military regulation, the new single boxed, very rare! Ordinary 5654 than the average two more than 5654 excellent durability!
 
GE / 5654W reputation second only to western electric WE 403, high school low-frequency control is very good, silky flavor, very Naiting, many high-end equipment are used in this gallbladder sound, we can see its status is quite high, There will be different levels of promotion on this bile, and most importantly, this courage will make you listen to more and more flavors and give you the enjoyment of the most wonderful music."

You can avoid those poor Chinese translations by filtering the item location to US only.
A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!

can't avoid the ChEnglish user manuals when you do buy something  :help:
took me awhile to decode;
"move and hold left stick down, now move right stick down till hear click to enter main menu"
my eventual decode; DEpress  right stick to activate main menu  :cussing:
Went Class C for efficiency
