And I just test the 6JS6 and it's real weak now.. I don't have any other tubes that are 6JS6 and the RCA models have a different tube number.. Not sure if one from a CTC15 or 16 would work as a substitute to at least power up..
RCA chassis use a 6JE6 or a 6LQ6, which is a 9 pin novar base tube. A 6JS6 is a 12 pin compactron base. A 6LB6 or a 6LF6, would work.
