Has anyone tried a 6JH8 in place of a 7360 for the
first mixer in a homebrew RX? How did they compare?

Well Eico uses a 7360 as a balanced modulator in my Eico 753. When it
comes time to replace it I'm going with the TV set version, 6LE8 used
as a chroma demodulator. I see the 6JH8 has an extra grid. I know you
can use it but you are going to have to play with that extra grid it
may not just go to ground, like most suppressor grids.
