the faster [[1A5|Type 1A5]].


==Specifications==
The 1A6 was designed by technician [[Vaughn Weidel]], based on Type [[1A7]]. 
[[Category:Specifications needed]]''please add''
The input stage is a matched pair of [[8393]] [[Nuvistor|Nuvistors]], and the front panel is styled like Type [[1A5]].
Unlike Types [[W]] and [[1A7]], Type 1A6 was never converted to FET input.
