AR3 tubes

[Richard Post]

Hi Karl,

I remember the tube complement from when I built it as a kid.  5Y3, 12V6,
and the rest were the all-American 5 equivalents, 12AV6, 12BE6, 12BA6.
Just about every plastic radio of the 1950s has these three in it.   I
don't have a tube manual handy so cannot tell if the 12A6 will sub for the
12V6.

The 12AV6 is the one that most likely looks like the 6C4 triode.  It is
next to the 12V6.  The xxAV6 is a very distinctive tube.

Neat set.
