No, these are bottom mount and the Twin Reverb reissue used top mounted sockets.

I found these to be "ok". Biggest issue was with pulling the tube out of the socket sometimes the unused lug would come out of the socket with the tube.
The sockets did not work. The 6aG7 tube I ordered and received from you did not plug in to these sockets.
Perfect fit for a Heathkit W4-AM which has smaller holes for tube sockets.
Great replacement in my Dynaco Stereo-70 Amp! Recommended
perfect
If you plan on using these with 6550s and mounting them with screws then check dimensional clearances closely.
When mounted in a Leslie amplifier chassis (0.050" thick) from the bottom, the top of the socket is only 0.030" above the top surface of the chassis. If #4-40 screws are used to mount a socket, they will prevent complete insertion of a 6550 due to interference with its wide base. Once inserted the tube can be rocked from side-to-side slightly on the socket mounting screws.
The max head height of a #4-40 pan head screw is nominally 0.080". If used with a washer add 0.025"-0.040". I used a truss head screw (0.070" max height) with no washer. There is still interference.
worked great
