Hi, I have a 6U5G Brimar octal not like my other 6U5. And I don't know how to test it on my Heatkit TC-1 or Superior TV-11. And I know it's not a 1629 because I came near to toast it! The Heatkit can test the eye brightness but the Superior, I don't know. It's finally a 6.3V tube.

Help me please! :)

I don't know if it will help, but here's a spec sheet for the 6U5G:

Jeffy: BAMA has the set-up data for the Heath TC-2 (which also applies to TC-1). This page has the data for 6U5 (same as 6U5G):

NO! The setting of 6U5G is not the same as 6U5 because on is 6 pins and the other is Octal 8 pins with a key. But with the information give by Carl T, I made my setting and I tested it. And for information the 6U5G is not a 1629 too! One is 6,3V and the other is 12,6V and pins not the same.

Voilà! :)

Hi Jeffy,
The pin out of the 6U5G and 1629 are the same, the filament voltage is different. Your 6U5G will test like a 1629 EXCEPT that the filament is 6.3 volts, not 12.6 volts.

Best Regards,

Jeffy, hi. I'm at a loss as to how the 6U5G you have is eight pin. The tube identifier I use comes out with six pin for 6U5, 6U5 G! How did you get the tube?

Hi planigan, give me your email and I will send you a photo! I don't remember where I get this tube (maybe in a radio I tried to repair!), but I have it! And cool, this tube is working great!
