The 7189A  (P/N 154-0503-00) is a power pentode vacuum tube with a B9A (Noval) miniature 9-pin base.

The 7189A is the higher voltage and power version of the 6BQ5 aka EL84 tube and of the 7189. It can handle 400 volts on the screen and 440 volts on the plate. It's maximum screen dissipation is 2.2 W, while maximum plate dissipation is 13.2 W.

Note that the pinout of the 7189A is different from the 7189 - the screen grid is additionally connected to pin 6, and the control grid additionally to pin 1 (for better heat dissipation). You must rewire the socket to use a 7189 in place of a 7189A in the Tektronix 106.

GE was the only US maker of the 7189A.
