The 6BJ6A is a line timebase valve from America, and is thus designed for 525 lines and 60 Hz frame timebase. The anode dissipation is quoted as 17.5 Watts. This suggests a use in a small screen sized colour receiver or a monochrome set. Larger colour sets used valves with a dissipation of up to 25 Watts.
The carbonised anode has broad side wings as extra dissipation surfaces.

The wide glass tube envelope is 38 mm in diameter, and excluding the B9D base pins is 79 mm tall.
