Product Information

Add vintage character to your media room with the addition of a working antique radio. If your old radio refuses to power on, it likely needs a fresh tube and tube socket. This important part electrical socket powers your device. The tube socket holds vacuum tubes in place so that the pins have terminals. Although it is tempting to use any type of tube socket for your repair, stick with authentic parts, such as this Sylvania 6CG7 vintage triode with gray plates and tube socket. Parts that are original to your radio last longer and help you return your radio to its former glory. The 6CG7 was introduced in 1954 along with the 6FQ7. These are electrically equivalent to the 6SN7, but each tube has a 9-pin, miniature "Noval" base, or the E9-1 base, as introduced by RCA in 1951. The 6SN7 was used as an audio amplifier in the 1940-1955 period; it is usually in the driver stages of power amps and preamps. This vacuum tube was responsible for transmitting sound waves through ham radios used within the field. The 6CG7 and 6FQ7 replaced the 6SN7, along with other more specified use tubes, although the 1946 miniature 12AU7 is the more common replacement for the 6SN7. The 12AU7, however, wouldn’t completely eliminate the 6FQ7/6CG7 as they provided a specific purpose for television use. The 6CG7 has gray plates, copper grid posts, a halo getter, and glass envelope with the name Sylvania written on it. The heater voltage is 6.3 v, the heater current is 0.6 A, and heater warm-up time is 11 seconds. There are at least three different Sylvania-made 6CG7s and one 6FQ7. The Sylvania 6CG7 is known for its clear sound, low noise, and the shield between the square plates. The 6CG7 is a miniature medium-mu twin triode that was made suitable for use in a wide variety of general-purpose applications. It was particularly useful as a vertical-deflection oscillator and horizontal-deflection oscillator in television receivers. The 6CG7 exhibits controlled heater warm-up characteristics, which is what made them especially suited for use in television receivers employing series-connected receivers. This Sylvania piece was also used and still is used as a resistance-coupled amplifier, phase inverter, or multi-vibrator. It is classified as a cathode, coated unipotential tube. While it gained popularity in television sets, nowadays the 6CG7 and 6FQ7 are used in audio equipment to attain that perfect sound. This dual triode vintage vacuum tube by Sylvania is a great American-made piece of electronic technology for amps and preamps. Some audiophiles and even music equipment producers mix the 12AX7 with the 6CG7 so that the plates on the 12AX7 and the grid posts of the 6CG7 create a circuit of about 100v.
