Pentagrid Converter
The 1L6 Vacuum tube is a miniature pentagrid
converter designed for use in battery operated receivers.
They are made to use very little power. This makes
batteries last longer.
It is similar in construction and application to 1A7GT
and 1LA6 type tubes. The small size and low current
requirements recommend it for use in small portable
receivers.
1L6 tubes are also used in Oceanic radios or
Trans-Oceanic radios and other short wave radios.
