CHIEF ENGINEER'S REPORT ON RCA-6166 "OLD GRANDDAD" RETIRES AFTER LONG AND FAITHFUL SERVICE Henry Goldenberg, Chief Engineer of KMBC-TV, says: "Several RCA-6166 tubes in our 50 Kw TV transmitter have piled up quite an impressive number of hours. One of them — we call it "Old Granddad" — accumulated 28,616 hours on-air before it was finally retired. Two others went well past 18,000 hours before being replaced. We check all tubes regularly and make sure we stick within the proper operating voltages at all times." The extreme longevity experienced by KMBC-TV is, of course, exceptional. But it is an exception that forcefully demonstrates the high-quality of the RCA-6166. This inherent quality plus proper care of the field-proven 6166 often results in performance beyond "normal" life expectancy. This means direct benefits in reduced transmitter maintenance and downtime as well as more hours of service per tube dollar. Your RCA Distributor of broadcasting tubes will be happy to supply your needs promptly. He also carries RCA Sound Tape — the quality tape. Whether it's tubes or tape, count on him for fast delivery.
