The radio tubes 6K7 6K8 6B8 6V6 are the steel type.
Those tubes cannot be used in a WS 19, where glass tubes must be fitted.
So a "G" must be suffixed to these codes: 6K7G 6K8G 6B8G 6V6G.

Some of this Canadian W.S.19 have been in use by the Italian Army, they have been refurbished by Italian Radio companies and an aluminium front panel with Italian language lettering has been added.
