Reply To: The 6X5 — a problematic tube

[Eric Strasen]

Bob,
Thanks for the referral to that site. If you continued to follow their thread, you already know I issued a dire warning to the fellow who wondered what to do about the 6X5 in his Zenith console.
The radio has eight tubes, which is really pushing a 6X5 to its limits.
In defense of the tube, I have to admit it was used in a lot of 1950’s car radios, rather than an OZ4, with no apparent problems.
