Re: EL509 and EL519

Bill, hi. No prob. Are you looking to retube something, build something, or just curious about these tube types? They really fall out of European color television set circuits: horizontal output drive. No matter. Check on: 6KG6 and 40KG6 as cross refs. My favorite in this whole family is pretty much extinct due to overuse and abuse by the CB linear amplifier builders - the 6LF6. [6LX6,6KD6,etc] The best ones were made by Amperex and had super rugged glass envelopes that made the GE versions look pathetic. Misapplied as they were by linear amplifier bozos huge stocks of these things were literally burned up. Sorry about the rant. I hate aggessive stupidity.
