6JE6 tube failure
Recently I have been working on some RCA's that use 6JE6 HO tubes (CTC-16 and CTC-38). Both of these sets had lost plate voltage to the horiz oscillator and overloaded the 6JE6. When I got the problem fixed restoring plate voltage to the osc., the 6JE6 tubes were very poorly functioning. One did not work at ALL and another was very weak....then when I replaced the 6JE6's I got good HV.
What kind of failure mode could have destroyed these tubes so bad...did the grid wires melt or something?
