RE: tubes labled JAN

Hi, I don't know what you mean by "hand selected" but take your tube. The 6cg7 was probably not used in "harsh environmental conditions" so it was probably procured for more mundane use like a PA system or the like. But even so since it was government military contracted it still had to go thru a burn in period and tube testing for matched sections and specified output. I am pretty sure there was a technician involved in that. Not knowing what other aspects of the military specs were we can only guess. Other types of testing involved shock and vibration. On/off cycles, atmospheric pressure and temperature and specified life span. happy holidays, Dak
