Afik I have read for short that te 6AS6 was THE tube for pahantastron circuits. But may be later there where develoed more tubes with suitable merits.

The 6AS6 Data Sheet from Western Electric says it is for low power applications at Hugh and Ultra High frequencies (this is from March 1947, so the data sheet is probably not talking about the same Ultra High frequencies we think of) The next Line is: "The usual Control Grid and the suppressor Grid can be used as independent control elements. The tube is suitable for use in gated amplifiers, Gain Controlled amplifiers, delay circuits and mixers." There is a 1949 data sheet that calls it a "Pentode (Dual COntrol)" Experimentation with other tubes listed as "mixers" or dual control tubes might be in order, Perhaps colour TV Martix and colour demodulator types? -- Charles MacDonald Stittsville Ontario cm...@zeusprune.ca Just Beyond the Fringe http://Charles.MacDonald.org/tubes No Microsoft Products were used in sending this e-mail. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
