Item ST 22565 Electronic Valve - Westinghouse, Dual Triode, Type 6N7, circa 1944

Summary

Twin triode intended for use as a push-pull class AB2 power amplifier.

With a 300 volt supply this valve could produce an output of 10 watts. It was designed to be operated with zero bias which eliminated the need for a low impedance bias supply and the distortion caused by the commencement of grid current. 6.3 volt indirectly heated cathode.
Pin 1 is connected to the metal envelope via a strip of metal which carried the getter. The getter was 'fired' after the valve was evacuated and sealed by passing a current through this strip.

Physical Description
