Power Amplifier Pentode
This design handles a higher plate
voltage and the output is equal to Russian tubes.
The Groove Tube 6L6S Vacuum tube is a glass-octal type
used in the output stage of audio
amplifying equipment, especially units designed to
have ample reserve of power-delivering ability. Requires
an octal socket. This tube, like other power-handling
tubes, should be adequately ventilated.

Red Base tubes are made by the Tesla Corporation.
Black Base tubes are made by the J.J. Corporation.
