BEAM POWER TETRODE
These are the original factory made tubes made for General
Motors car radios. If you are wanting to restore your
Classic Automobile to the max, then you want these tubes
for your radio. I've heard these tubes work best in Red
cars..... But that's just a rumour... I think...
The General Motors Genuine Parts 6V6GT Vacuum tube is a glass octal type used as
output amplifiers in automobile,
battery-operated, and other receivers in which reduced
plate-current drain is desirable. They require an octal socket
and may be mounted in any position. It is equivalent in
performance to type 6AQ5.
The Delco Electronics Corporation was the automotive
electronics design and manufacturing subsidiary of
General Motors based in Kokomo, Indiana.
The name Delco came from the Dayton Engineering
Laboratories Co., founded in Dayton, Ohio by Charles
Kettering and Edward A. Deeds in 1909.
