content: A 7-pin glass base with tipped T-shaped envelope. Miniature tube. Stamped: "3CB6”. Donor’s card reads: “Sharp cutoff pentode made by CBS-Hytron for use as a radio frequency or intermediate frequency amplifier in television receivers employing series connected heater strings. Very high transconductivity combined with low inter-electrode capacitance. Provided with separate base pins for grid #3 and cathode to permit use of an un-bypassed resistor (cathode) to minimize the effects of regeneration. Heater type: 3.15 volts at .6 ampere.” See also: https://www.radiomuseum.org/tubes/tube_3cb6.html.
