The type of tube that comprises the Sylvania 6L6GC vintage tube and tube socket is compatible with most American-made electronic brands. The earliest valves, or vacuum tubes, evolved from incandescent light bulbs and contained a heater sealed in an evacuated glass envelope. When hot, the heater releases electrons into the evacuated tube in a process called thermionic emission. A second electrode, the plate, attracts the electrons if it has a more positive voltage. This results in a flow of electrons from the heater to the plate. Electrons can’t flow in the opposite direction because plates remain cold and don’t emit electrons. The heater has a dual function: When heated, it emits electrons as well as creating an electric field with the plate due to the potential difference between them.
