LF: Re: Pure off-topic: old tubes

[Petr Maly <p.maly@gmc.net>]

Thanks all for your responses.

The valves looked NOS therefore I searched for specs to be able to make a small PA with them.

Now it looks I will put them back on the shelf for another twenty years instead, in order to have a real rarity in hands one day, hi.

 

Have a great day, Petr, OK1FIG

Hi all

 

I like Johan went to my favourite online resources but nothing. I looked in http://www.tubebooks.org/technical_books_online.htm where an old STC catalogue lists every number either side of the "4B" range .... very frustrating!

 

If anyone has out of copyright radio or audio books, manuals and catalogues there can be no better place to send them too than Pete Millett, details on the website.(an incredible labour of love).

Hello Peter,

I expected to find the tube at http://www.tubedata.org/where Frank
Philipse has been collecting tube data sheets for 15 years but it wasn't
... It must be a very exotic tube!
