Someone in the past asked for Sovtek 5881/6L6WGC tube data. Well now
that I’ve figured out how much to pay the president 😉 I have a
some time to post this. The following is from a tube characteristics
sheet received with these tubes directly from New Sensor.
If someone has the initiative, I would appreciate a followup post that
compares (where possible) data on key attributes with a Tung-Sol
5881 (or Phillips, Sylvania, etc.) – seems like there are discussion
frequently enough about what can be used to substitute the Sovtek
5881/WGC.

PS – Did I see that someone out there was doing some characteristic curve
traces on these?
PSS – Data suggests these can be operated at very high accelerations,
so how ’bout some groovin tube amps for space shuttle/ MIG crews 😉

4. OPERATING INSTRUCTION
————————
4.1 It is not advisable to use the tube in heater series connection
circuit in order to secure tube reliability.
4.2 Heater voltage should not exceedits nominal value in order to
increase parameter instability and operating time.
4.3 The second grid voltage must never exceed (even for a short
time) the maximum rating and voltage applied to the plate at
a given moment.
4.4 If it is possible one should use automatic bias by means of
including resistance of an appropriate value in the cathode circuit.
4.5 In any case resistance in control grid circuit must be confined
to the possible minimum.
4.6 When mounting panels one should provide free floatinging of terminals
in sockets. Panel mounting must be realized by means of a mounting
gadget inserted in a panel; or one may use a tube with straight and
parallel pins.
4.7 It is not allowed to use tube free socket lugs as support mounting
points.
4.8 It is recommended to provide the minimum envelope temperature (e.g.
ventilation improvement, practical tube placement in units, appli-
cation of heat sinking panels and screens).
4.9 When operation the tube it is recommended to keep within the values
specified by the absolute maximum ratings. Otherwise the tube will
become inoperative.
4.10 It is not allowed to combine envelope temperature more than 453 K
and heater voltage more than 6.3 V.
5. STORAGE
———-
5.1 Tubes should be kept in depots at temperature 213-323K and relative
humidity as high as 90%.
5.2 Acid vapour, alkali and other chemical agents as well as gases
easily diffusing through glass, especially helium, must not be
present in the room where there are tubes.
6. CERTIFICATE
————–
The tube 6H36 E {Cryllic overwritten} is tested by the Technical
Control Department; it is fit for operation.
