The Y63 is a second generation tuning indicator with a 6.3 Volt heater. This type of indicator was used in many radios. This exhibit carries identification information in a typical M-OV lozenge style but the paper label on the other side GEC Tuneray.
The data-sheet gives that the 6G5 is electrically identical to the Y63 but has a UX6 base cap.
The paper label brands this M-OV product to the professional GEC range.
