6BG6 Vacuum Tube New and Used

- Description
- Specifications
The 6BG6 (and its redesigned 6BG6GA variant) is an octal-base beam power pentode designed primarily for horizontal deflection amplifier service in early television receivers. Structurally derived from the classic 807 transmitting tube, it features a top-mounted plate cap for high peak voltage isolation and heavy-duty current handling. It is also a popular choice for high-power push-pull audio amplifiers and high-voltage DC regulated power supplies. Operates on a 6.3V heater and fits standard 8-pin octal sockets. Available NOS and tested used.
