Don, you can add these to your list: 6GJ5: used in National NCX-3 and NCX-5 transceivers 6HF5: used in Galaxy V and GT-550 transceivers 6JB6: used in National NCX-200 transceiver 6LB6: used in Galaxy 2000B amplifier (ten of 'em!) 6LQ6: used in National NCX-500 transceiver
A number of Novar and Compactron sweep tube types found use in Swan transceivers, but I don't know enough about that product line to comment further.
Might as well re-title your list "Novars and Compactrons Used In Ham Gear". regards, Mahlon - K4OQ
