- Specifications
The 6GY8 is a 9-pin miniature vacuum tube housing three independent high-mu triodes within a single envelope. Designed primarily for use in VHF television tuners, FM receivers, and oscillator-mixer applications, it combines three distinct triode sections to save space and reduce component count in multi-stage RF and AF circuits. It operates on a 6.3V heater and fits standard 9-pin noval sockets. Available NOS and tested used.
