Subject: LF: European Tube Question
(OT)
I've just acquired a pair of NOS RS1003 tubes by
Siemens. Is anyone in Europe familiar with this tube and its application?
A quick search shows them at ~ $230 each...wonder
why they are so expensive?

Hello Steve!
I too wonder why these tubes are
so expensive.
I do not have any accurate data, but it seems
that we are talking about
a 1950-vintage 100-watt transmitting
pentode. Can you confirm that it
is a glass envelope, single-ended tube ( thick
plate pin)?
For near-eqvivalents, you might look for Amperex
PE1/100 or US type 6083.
