[NJARC] 1L6 Tubes

[Dave Snellman]

Hi Bob, yes I remember the TW2000 (leather version of the TW1000) used 1L6.  Also, had a TW600 that used the same tube.  I have a couple of RCA sets, listed as "long distance" sets that used a 1L6 also - actually bought one for $20 just to get the 1L6!  All seem to work better on batteries than on AC. I know Zenith had a crappy AC power supply.   I liked the "turret-tuned" bandswitching arrangement used by Hallicrafters versus the "push-buttons" used by Zenith.  Also, RCA had a sweet-looking leather case.  Not certain why Zenith was more popular than the others, or why I sold off these look-a-likes and kept the Zeniths...
