With 15 mA of plate current, 90 V plate-to-cathode voltage, and −1.3 V grid-to-cathode, the 6DJ8 provides 12.5 mS of transconductance with a plate resistance of about 2.5 kΩ. 
The 6DJ8 and its variants are used extensively in many Tektronix instruments of the tube era.
Variants are:

{{Tube aging reference}}
As of 2023, 6DJ8 tubes are still manufactured and used, and new old stock (NOS) 6DJ8s can also be obtained easily.
However, the 6DJ8 is sought after by [https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=audiophool some in the tube audio community], leading to exaggerated prices and occasional cannibalism of classic Tek gear.
