Hello RATs,

What is the real deal with the metal encased 6L6 (and type 1622, et
al) tubes? It does not seem as if there is the physical space for the
plate structure and etc. of a glass-bulb unit.

Are these metal counterparts really counterparts?

Best regards,

Ernst

They have a 19W plate dissapation rating, and a lower plate voltage rating
like the 6L6G, and 6L6GB. So yes, they are equal to 6L6G, but do not use
them in place of 6L6GC or you will get in trouble.

Best regards,
