50L6GT Vacuum Tube New and Used

- Description
- Specifications
The 50L6GT is an 8-pin octal beam power amplifier vacuum tube introduced in the late 1930s for the audio output stage of transformerless (AC/DC) superheterodyne radio receivers. Designed specifically for 150mA series-heater string circuits, it operates on a 50.0V heater rating. It delivers high power output and sensitivity from low B+ plate voltages, making it a staple audio output tube in post-war "All-American Five" (AA5) radio designs. Featuring a T-9 glass envelope, the 50L6GT serves as the 50V heater equivalent to the 25L6GT and 6V6GT family. Available NOS and tested used.
