This exhibit is a modern (as of 2014) implementation of the classic 6V6GT audio beam tetrode. JJ Electronic is based in the Slovak Republic.
Originally the 6V6 was used as a single ended audio output stage in broadcast receivers. It was an excellent design and modern usage is in push pull for lower even harmonic distortion and greater power.
The gap in the anode reveals the two wire grids and the bright beam forming plates.

The wide glass tube envelope is 32 mm in diameter and, excluding the IO base pins, is 78 mm tall.
