Hi
As you see in the above pictures, this Cossor - I can't make out what it is. I tested it on my AVO3 & showed excellent results as a 6V6, because the filament @ 6.3v showed the current of a 6V6.
However, the tube's numbers/letters are not 6V6.
Do identify this Cossor tube.
ThanX, Dany, Toronto, Canada

Only other 6*6 tubes - 6F6, 6L6 - but it looks like a 6V6G[

The labelling looks like 6V6G to me. If it was a smudged 6Y6G, this would be betrayed by the much higher heater current.
