We shouldn't loose sight of the original topic, which was the use of the 6DQ5
in place of?the 8236. The 6DQ5 has a plate dissipation of 24?watts and transconductance of 10.5K. The 6DQ6 is 18 watts and 7.3K.
Two interesting tubes on the chart which I have not considered or explored are the 6JE6 and the 6JF6, 30 watts and 10.7K. I think I have some in my treasure boxes, may have to investigate them.
Has anyone played with either of these tubes?
