Thanks, Mike!? In contrast, National often used all 6SG7¡¯s in their IF design (such as in my HRO-60).? The difference is an interesting point.

Hello Steve!

Excellent question!

The 6SG7 has higher gain than the 6SK7.

The 6SK7 can handle stronger signals.

And the 6SK7 provides better AGC control since it¡¯s a remote cutoff tube.? The 6SG7 is semi-remote cutoff.

?

I hope this helps!

All,

?

A curiosity ¨C I¡¯m restoring a SX-110 at the moment and see that a 6SK7 was used for the 2nd IF, while a 6SG7 is used for the 1st IF.? I¡¯m trying to understand why that is ¨C why not use two 6SG7¡¯s?? What was magical about the 6SK7?
