Interesting. I have an early original (typewritten) RBB-1/RBC-1 manual.
This shows several 6AB7 in each receiver, but no 6AC7's. I wonder if
the lineup changed (my manual is marked "preliminary, discard" <g> ).

SX-28, RBB/RBC, some Nationals, for starters. It was also used as an early 
TV tube, in some test equipment, as well as Harry Hambone sticking it in a 
RF and IF amp.

BTW, Ian, do I owe you a PW dial?

Where were 6AC7's actually used? They show up regularly in fairly
large numbers in piles of metal octals, etc. My guess is that they were
used as IF amplifiers in radar sets. I don't recall seeing any in the
Surplus Conversion Manual schematics, though, so I wonder when
they were introduced?
