Tentative Data GEHNERAL DESCRIPTION Applicetion: The Ken-Red 6N6 is e cathode type power output tube comprising two triodes so connected interanally as to forn & direct courled amplifier. Although the internal construction ead theory of operation is different from converniional output tubes, external circuit considerations are very similer to Class A triodes and peatodes. Operation of the 6H6 is characterized by high
