For example, a 12SK7 was used in lieu of a 6SK7, while the audio output valve was a 50L6 instead of a 25L6.
Additionally, the bias on the 25L6 (50L6 in 110V set) was only -1.5V, as supplied by a dry cell.
Radio Corporation's Astor receivers also used two 25L6 valves (similar to the 35L6) operating in push-pull in the audio output stages of their 32V HT receivers.

So I'm off to look for a 25L6 tube for my IBM 026.
John Lawson says that the tube is a 25L6 because all the other tubes in the rack are 25L6 types and he believes they are hammer drivers.
Lawson, since he did used to service these, but I just want to make sure this is in fact the right tube type that goes into the socket that is currently empty.
These sets usually used 6V tubes as commonly seen on transformer sets, except for the output and rectifier tubes, which were usually a 25L6 and 25W5 or similar.
This of course gave you a series string that didn't add up to nearly 120V, and a large resistor was used to drop the voltage.
What Westinghouse did on a number of sets was to add a second 25L6 in series making the radio a push-pull output instead of a single tube seen in the common AA5-type sets.

Triode connected the rating for the 6W6 is given as 225 volts max.
This is substantially higher than the voltage the 6W6 screen is rated for in the pentode connection, so I would assume that the 25L6 is also not limited by the screen voltage rating when operated as a triode, maybe it can run in triode mode at nearly the full 200 volt rating of the plate.
Since the 6W6 and 25L6 are virtually the same tube, and I have seen tubes with 12 volt heaters dual labeled as 12W6GT/12L6GT, I wonder why the max.

Includes automated vaccum and detailed information about 25l6 vacuum tube characteristics.
News and information about automated vaccum can be hard to find, especially if you need specific advice not only about site straight away before they decide to finish their greatest sale ever which will end very soon, but also with 25l6 vacuum tube characteristics and vaccum forming.
If you are looking to get this out then I highly recommend you check out this enables you to find a product or service that delivers the kinds of choices you need to make educated decisions about automated vaccum.
I have recently acquired a R1155B (direction finding components removed) housed in its proper wooden transit case.
The set had been modified to include a 25L6 output stage by wiring the remaining valve heaters in series and providing an HT supply (between HT+ and chassis!) from a HW rectified supply apparently energised from 110 volts AC.
V6 had been rplaced with a VR55 double diode triode the heater of which had been shunted with two 3 ohm resistors in series.

I curently am tring to "make one out of 2" from a 55 and a 55A but an looking for schematics for the amp.
This model must have been the home use one as it uses two 25L6, and two 25Z6 a 6SJ7 and a 6SL7.
One of th eamps will work with a microphone (sort-of) the other is DEAD.

Actually, 35Z5 (not 25Z4, I hope) and 35L6 or 25L6 or 50L6, as well as the 12SC7 and other 12-volt tubes, are all _easier_ to find than their 6-volt equivalents.
Most radios made during the late 1930s and very early 40s were "AC/DC" and used series-strung tubes, so the high- voltage types are literally sold by the boxful at radio swap meets.
