Working on Magnavox TVs, one side of my caddy was all 6GH8 and the other
side was all the other tubes. Magnavox would use 7 or 8 of these in one tv.
Most of them run almost to or into saturation. Sure was good for business
and we almost always knew what was wrong with the TV when we got the call.
Don't forget the older stuff with 6V6...

Probably one of the AA-5 type at a guess, every house had at least one and
the same 12AT6/AV6, 12BA6, 12BE6 was used in auto radios 1953 to 56-57 or
so. The 6AU6 is also a good possibility as early TV's were loaded with them
plus they got used in lots of non radio apps.

Back in the day 10,000 would have been a small run of one type. Non-amp
related trivia, but I wonder what was the most manufactured tube number? 12
or 6AU6, 12AX7, 5U4 etc?
