Behold, David J Windisch signalled from keyed 4-1000A filament:


Hi, all concerned:

What's the nomenclature for that sweep tube, produced just for Admiral
TVs years ago, that's heavier-duty than any of the other tubes?

I thought it was 6MJ6 -- but, no.

Fella used to sell 'em in some of the mid-west hamfests, but I haven't
seen him for a while. Think his name is Don, and that he was also in to
Racal receivers.

TIA & 73

I know the Sylvania 6LF6 tubes, custom made for Motorola were heavier
duty - rated 50 watts Pa continuous........


6JS6 is the number that emerges from the cobwebbed long term memory -
used a lot in Yaesu stuff as pa tubes, ie 101's. Cheaper than 6146's
in those days, now the situation is reversed so the old rigs are being
modified to 6146's Unless you have boxes of them stashed away, dont
design anything around them, a long obselete technology...

PS - I have several dozen 807's in the junk box, will use them one
day.....

807's are becoming pricey these days. Still some cheap 1625's
available though. There must have been a google of them made
during WWII.
