Default 7360 or 6JH8 for first mixer?

uses a 7360 as a balanced modulator in my Eico 753. When it
comes time to replace it I'm going with the TV set version, 6LE8 used
as a chroma demodulator. I see the 6JH8 has an extra grid. I know you
can use it but you are going to have to play with that extra grid it
may not just go to ground, like most suppressor grids.



Transmitters don't worry about noise figure or dynamic range...
I'm more worried about how the different gated beam tubes will
work in receiver applications.
Regarding your proposed mod, check this

The 6JH8 can be used in lieu of the 7360 by following the
pin layouts shown on that page, as was done by Swan.
