[R-390] 6C4

[Barry Hauser]

OK Joe .. because you made that mistake, the whole class, er, list has to be 
punished.  (Remember those days?)

Punishment is this -- you gave me an opening to skootch in an OT question 
about tubes -- involving another "6C" deal.

I have a National RAO-2 that turned up with a slightly broken 6C8G -- where 
the "G" is probably for "glass", but could be "George", who knows.  Anyhow, 
the thing is broken at the cap - small hole let that elusive vacuum escape.

I see on that tube substitution web site that the 6F8G is a possible sub. 
Of course, this might be like those guys who joke around when dealing poker 
and will say "possible straight-flush" upon dealing out a single face card. 
There is a disclaimer that it won't work in some? circuits.  This is for the 
"2nd detector/limiter" functions.  I don't have another 6C8G handy, but do 
have some 6F8G's.  Of course, right next to that socked for the 6C8G is a 
6F8C, so I suppose if it was good enough they would have used another one of 
the same.

Can anyone tell me if this has a shot at working temporarily - while I do a 
smoke and sizzle test, followed by a signs of life test?

Barry
