The 6N6G is a double triode. One triode is a voltage amplifier and the second, directly coupled to the first, is an output audio triode. The output triode needs to work to a 7,000 Ω load and can produce 4.0 Watts of output. The grid bias is internally generated.
The Brimar advert shows how to use a 6F6G to replace the difficult to obtain 6N6G.
The triode sections are obscured by the coating inside the glass but the one on the left is much smaller than the power section on the right.
The classic envelope is 45 mm in diameter, and excluding the IO base pins is 103 mm tall.
References: Data-sheet, & 1043. Type 6N6G was first introduced in 1937. See also 1937 adverts.
