Here is a link to a restoration of a R1155 where the previous owner had replaced the VR99 tube with a 6K8G. Per the article, this is described as a "Sensible" replacement for the VR99: http://www.chavfreezone.me.uk/t1154r1155/2012/r1155a.html

Just relaying what was said, YMMV. 73, Gordon KJ6IKT

Hello Jacques,

I believe that the 6K8 and CV1099 are interchangeable.  But, can't swear to it.  However, here are the drawings I just dug up:



Pin-outs look the same to me.

Hi Al,

 

In the R1155, V4 is not a 6K8, it is a Osram X66 (CV1099 / VR99) and this tube cannot behave as a 6K8 because the grid 1 and 3 are interchanged between the two types.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the video.  I don't know much about the LO pulling except from, just now, looking at the schematic.  The cathode and grid-return of the triode section of V4 go directly to ground.  So it's hard to see when the interaction comes in.

The first thing I'd do is swap out V4, a 6K8, in case there is some internal leakage from the AVC'ed signal grid..

A stitched together copy of the N-schematic is attached.

This was another case of the original .pdf's I was working with being locked up so I couldn't extract the images.  However, today there is an easy fix for that:  Printing the file using Microsoft "Print to PDF" gets you an unlocked copy.  Extract the schematic images a .png's and stitch them together using "Image Composite Editor" another free marvel from Microsoft .

Merry Christmas,
Al
