LTspice model needed....6JN6

Hello fellow diyAudio members, I submitted a thread a long time ago looking for a LTspice model for a 6JN6 sweep tube. Unfortunately, I received no responses to my request, so I thought I would ask again. Is there anyone out there who can assist me with a model? Moderator, feel free to move this request to the LTspice sticky if it is more appropriate there. Thanks!
 
Hi, I just painted one for 6JN6, included screen current, see how it goes. Fine tuned is possible.

Oops, my screen current scale is out. Change KVB=19.4 to KVB=14, KVC=1.7 to KVC to 1.63 and KG2=6207.3 to KG2 to KG2=38200 will bring screen current closer to original scale.

Some real 12GE5 (6JN6) curves for comparison: pentode, triode, g2 drive and Schade mode (Mu 4). I think these were 20 mA/div Vert. and 50 V/div Horiz. I don't remember the other stats.

Thanks everyone for stepping up and helping me out with information on the 6JN6 and related sweep tubes. I will see if I can put some of this help to use in the way of a working LTspice model. I appreciate the help given! This forum is a wonderful place to get some support when it is needed. 🙂
