[Collins] "Different" 6146

[Glen Zook]

I am familar with the "supposed" 6146 tubes.  They
usually worked OK at audio frequencies (like in the
modulator of a Johnson Viking Valiant).  However, they
were worthless at r.f.

>From what I understand the company went out of
business before any of the tubes were really used by
the military.  However, not before they had been paid!

Back about 1968 while on active duty, I ran into some
supposed 6146 tubes made by the Electronic Tube
Company. They didn't look much like 6146 inside and
didn't appear to amplify at RF frequencies, at least
not in the MARS 32S I was trying to fix at the time.
