This tube is very close to the 5842 and makes a nice affordable alternative, bias is just slightly off. Glass envlope is taller than the 5842, about the same as the regular 12A*7 noval tubes, although anode dissipation is rated lower than the 5842. The DR version is an extra long life (10.000 hours) and selected version of the regular 6S4P tube.
