Home Tubes Asylum

Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

RE: IIRC

Hi Stuie, my research said that the RCA red base were used in guided missle systems and avionics. They are designed to withstand much more Gs and vibration than ordinary 6sn7 tubes. I don't think that is much of an issue in the vacuum tube computers unless they were on planes. Post WW2 aircraft were all vacuum tubed into the 60s unless they were scrapped. Models like the B52 used vacuum tubes into the 60s. regards, Dak
