We present optical interferometric observations of two double-lined spectroscopic binaries, HD 6118 and HD 27483, taken with the Palomar Testbed Interferometer (PTI) in the K band. HD 6118 is one of the most eccentric spectroscopic binaries and HD 27483 a spectroscopic binary in the Hyades open cluster. The data collected with PTI in 2001-2002 allow us to determine astrometric orbits and when combined with the radial velocity measurements derive all physical parameters of the systems. The masses of the components are 2.65 +/- 0.27 M_Sun and 2.36 +/- 0.24 M_Sun for HD 6118 and 1.38 +/- 0.13 M_Sun and 1.39 +/- 0.13 M_Sun for HD 27483. The apparent semi-major axis of HD 27483 is only 1.2 mas making it the closest binary successfully observed with an optical interferometer.
