of the high-power "VHF's Known for their "powerhouse" reliability in the nation's 25 and 50-kw VHF TV transmitters, RCA-6166's have been running up outstanding life performance records ever since the advent of higher power. What's back of RCA power-tube reliability? It is tube-design experience . . . almost a quarter century of it in building tubes for virtually every transmitter application and power requirement. And it is tube engineering "know-why". . . acquired by working hand in hand with station engineers and transmitter designers. Your RCA Industrial Tube Distributor is ready to meet your tube requirements around the clock. Call him for the RCA types you need. HOW TO GET THE MOST FROM AN RCA-6166 • Hold filament voltage at 5 volts . . . right at tube terminals. • Keep air cooling system clean ... to prevent tube and circuit damage from overheating. • If power amplifier uses springfinger socket contacts, make sure each finger is clean . . < and has ample tension for good contact (to prevent arcing). • Handle tube carefully to avoid damage through mechanical shock. • Operate tube within RCA ratings; follow instructions packed with each tube. • Operate spare tubes periodically.
