  • New Sensor "Tung-Sol" 6V6GT voltages - FYI

    To whomever is interested,

    Since I couldn't find any datasheet with tube specs for this tube, I thought I'd post some info for others who may be contemplating using these tubes (since they are advertised as being able to handle higher voltages).

    I have one in a SE homebuilt job, and this is currently what the readings are under load.

    I am using a NOS 5Y3GT rectifier (Toshiba).

    PT secondary = 290VDC on each side (318 without a load) to ground

    B+ = 368VDC to ground

    Plate = 363-364VDC to ground

    Screen = 302-303VDC to ground

    Plate to Cathode = 343-344VDC

    I have yet to see any smoke or red-plating. I'll keep you posted
