Looking through the various schematics of sets using a similar design, I see that some manufacturers used a 12W6, 12L6, 25L6 and few others! Westinghouse used their own, a 12EN6.
Then theres Muntz, with their own Vertical oscillator, Vertical output reflex circuit using a 12AV5GA. They were really fussy about the brand of tube used. It had to be a GE! Otherwise the vert lin and height couldn't be adjusted right! Also affected the vert hold range!
