6A7 question on 39-6
#6

Very pretty glow, but useless as a mixer oscillator tube, the gas disrupts the mutual conductance of the tube, making it conduct too well, almost like a short circuit. I've never seen that happen with a 6A7 tube before, I had a #224 tube that did that and had to get a refund from the fleabay seller I bought it from, but it was a balloon type so you run into that more often with early production tubes then later ones.
Regards
Arran
