Description

The Ken-Rad 6PS5GT is a cathode type triode recommended for use as detector, oscillator, or amplifier. It can_be used as an audio ampl!gier in a resistance e coupled stage or in a power driver stage transformer coupled to the output stage. The 6PSGT is a glass tulge equipped with an octal base and has electrical characteristics identical to those of type 76.
