IIRC a 6L6 is a vacuum tube with a 6v heater.
But (a) Why were you trying to get it to oscillate? Isn't it an amplifier?
(although the difference between the two -- when intentional -- is usually
just the type/degree of feedback)
(b) Why weren't you trying to use a germanium transistor? They were
as exciting to get to run over a MegaCycle/sec (yeah, I remember that's what
we called it back then) as were tubes.
