I've built a few dividers down to 1Hz and they work phantastically. Always use the 6AS6 and not just any pentode. However, Eric said he wanted a low power implementation. Which makes me wonder if any of the subminiature pentodes out there could be pressed into service. Due to the way the

Always use the 6AS6 and not just any pentode. My (poor) understanding is the design of 6AS6 g3 is as a control grid proper, like g1. 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

Yes, there are! But if they are suitable is another question. As I stated before, I'm familiar with these rod pentodes, and I doubt they'd work well in phantastron circuits. The electron is a sheet beam, and the rods act as a lense instead of a grid, leading to a very low G2 current.
