6L6G or 6V6G or similar with a bent pin? 😀
The pictures were not attached correctly and are too small to really look at in detail.. Can you try posting larger attachments?

the three pictures are of the same tubes, its a octal base. without a pin6... a friend of mine said that it looks like a rectifier tube. Could anyone help please....
thanks
thanks
It's not a rectifier, it looks a lot like a 6V6G or 6L6G to me based on what I can see of the plate structure. Do you have access to a tube tester? This would be the best way to identify your tube.
too bad too sad, i do not have a tube tester. More picture on the tube. as i can remember i bought it about 9mths back and as far as i can remember i was told that its a rectifier tube, im building a tube power supply, so i need to be sure. Thanks for all input..
6L6.
My picture is of a 6BG6, a 6L6 variant, but has the same plate structure.
Most rectifiers use pins 4 and 6 for anode pinouts.
Pins 2 and 7 should be filament.

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Be assured, it is not a recitfier. It's a power pentode of some kind. More then likely a 6L6G as Kevin said. Whoever told you it was a rectifier was wrong. If it did come from a power supply, it was used as a series pass tube as 6L6's often were. And the "dag" coating on the inside of the glass was common on the older 6L6Gs. I have never seen a rectifier tube with an internal dag coating.

Thanks, i also think that its not a rectifier tube now, as the pin6 is missing. So what could it be?
If im Building a power supply whats the best/or average rectifier tube for a SET amplifier?
Again you guys are wonderful.......THANKS
