The RCA are relabeled Tung Sol 6550 as RCA never made a 6550.

bottle shaped tubes? These are straight sided 6650s. I have Tung Sol 6550 in grey plate with hole and the black plate but they are different. And some of my RCA are recognizable Tung Sol and the construction is different from the GE but same bottle type.

  They may be relabeled Sylvania 6550. Can you post a picture?
