Contrast this with another Nuvistor triode, the [[7586]],

(however, one of the 8056 test conditions for 157-0099-00 puts 100 V on the plate.)

The 7586 and 8056 have the same pinout,
The 7586 and 8056 have the same pinout, but the two tubes are not interchangeable since they have different voltage ratings.

For example, in the front-end cathode followers
For example, in the front-end cathode followers of the [[3A1]], the plate voltage of the 7586 tubes,  
of the [[3A1]], the plate voltage of the 7586 tubes, V113 and V123, is 55 V,
V113 and V123, is 55 V, and possibly a bit higher during warm-up.
and possibly a bit higher during warm-up.
This exceeds the maximum plate voltage of the 8056, unless the 3A1 is modified for lower front-end plate voltages.
