You may have to find this info upside down, like I did...

On a 54 Hornet Radio there are three vacuum tubes. At least on my

radio that doesn't work. The left tube is a 6AQ5. The right tube is

a 6X4. Does anyone know the type of tube that is in the center.

    If you can pull that center tube out, don't wipe it with a rag or the like. Rather, breathing on it will reveal otherwise illegible markings.

    I assume you have a Sylvania.I have a '53 I believe they are the same.The tube in the center is 6AQ5.They are audio output tubes. The other one,6x4 is a rectifier.

    Thank you, I figured it had to be a copy of one of the two that are in there.

    The middle one is missing. I'll bet when I replace the tubes, and see if the fuse is ok, I'll get some activity. Everything looks real good..
