I'm used to Tetrodes having a Pin 6 just as a place to hang connections for Triode mode, etc. Is this unique to new production Gold Lion?

The olde f32 GZ34 had as many missing pins as possible; did they eliminate another with an internal connection?

Friend, I would not hurt thee for the world...but thou art standing where I am about to shoot.
You don't mean you were using the TUBE pin 6 for a tie point, do you? You weren't soldering to the tube pin itself, correct?
Don't you mean you were using the tube SOCKET pin 6 for the tie point connection(s)?
Indeed I do.
Should have written a dummy Pin 6 is no different than no Pin 6 as far as having socket 6 as a tie point. A pin saved is a Kopek earned for Reflektor, I suppose.

Nah. Then I wouldn't have learned about the design and patent differences for KT or beam tubes. So only 999,999 more tube things to understand to catch up with you guys!

My GEC KT-66's don't have pin6 either, and neither does those US made big bottle 6CA7's I have.
Not specific to tube brand.
From what I understand, none of the "beam" tetrodes or "kinkless" tetrodes use pin 6. What I didn't realize until now is that this design was developed to avoid patent infringement vs the original tetrode design. That's it in a nutshell.
Interesting historical read. But I didn't read much further. Someday maybe.
Cheers!
