They are nearly unobtainable because the bootleg CB guys have blown so many of them up. There is no drop-in replacement, although I have seen equipment designed for use with sweep tubes modified to take 6146s. The Svetlana EL-509 is probably as close as it comes and it will take some modification to make those work in most circuits. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

Which is really too bad, because they made super pass tubes in regulated supplies and good HiFi outputs when trioded. Not to mention insane power in PP pentode as a geetah head :-) Cheers, __ Gregg |

Not to mention insane power in PP pentode as a geetah head :-) When I was a kid, everybody was converting military and commercial surplus radios over to use sweep tubes instead of expensive transmitting tubes. These days, everyone is converting ham rigs intended for sweep tubes over to use transmitting tubes, because sweep tubes are so expensive. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra.

The 6MH6 has an equivalent base pinout, so it should be usable, although
they are not common. You can build an adapter to change the pinout to a more conventional tube for testing. Tube testers can be tricked quite easily. If the tube is being used in a transmitter, it is not that difficult to change to a different type of final tube - including the 6146. If it is used in a grounded grid amp, the grids are all tied together, so you should be able to find a substitute and change a few pins on the amp. Hams are supposed to be good at improvising. 73, Colin K7FM |
