yes, use of LV6 is quite common here in Germany of course.
I bought 10 for 1000,- DM, three of them were the 6m versions, that was 15
years ago.
They are solid enough to be converted to other tubes as well, like GU-84 or
TH327.

you can buy LV6 for about 400-500 Euro without PS if you dont have some RF
and electronic parts at your home you will need about 1500 Euro more to
inverst to get this amp working propertly.
it´s not fast and smal like Alpha or Acom but it´s cheap and very reliable!
you cann see it in use also under this link
