When tube equipment was common, retailers such as drug stores had vacuum tube testers, and sold replacement tubes. Some Nixie tubes were also designed to use sockets. Throughout the tube era, as technology developed, sometimes differently in different parts of the world, many tube bases and sockets came into use.
Oscilloscope OL-1 from 1954, the company's first with a relatively small 3-inch CRT which allowed for a highly competitive price of US$ 29.50 (equivalent to $335 in 2023) for the DIY kit. [1] Heathkit is the brand name of kits and other electronic products produced and marketed by the Heath Company.
The 12BV7, 12BY7, 12BY7A, and equivalents were a class of medium-low gain, pentode vacuum tube amplifiers using the Noval socket configuration. Although originally marketed as pentode tubes for use in early television receivers, they found additional uses in audio and radiotelephone equipment. The series shares the EIA 9BF pinout with a number ...
Continuously transmitting tubes: Maximum anode dissipation in W or kW in Class-C amplifier telegraphy; Pulsed transmitting tubes: Maximum peak anode current in A (number preceded by "P") Rectifiers: Maximum average anode current in mA; Thyratrons: Maximum average anode current: Less than 3 digits: in mA; 3 or more digits: 1st digit: =0 – in mA
Examples of adapters include one end BSP threaded with the other NPT threaded, and one end threaded with the other a plain socket for brazing. A coupling whose ends use the same connection method but are of different sizes is called a reducing coupling or reducer. An example is a 3/4" NPT to 1/2" NPT coupling.
These tubes have very similar characteristics to the 6V6, but differ either in the heater rating, or use a different socket and pin-out 5V6GT - Same as the 6V6GT, but with different heater ratings - 4.7V, 0.6A, controlled 11 sec. warm-up time.
A few amplifier tubes used two top caps, symmetrically placed, one for anode and the other for grid. 866 mercury rectifier with anode top cap In audio amplifier tube application, the top cap was originally used for the grid connection, and a serviceman could apply a moist finger to the terminal to confirm that the stage and subsequent circuits ...
Crude versions of conically tapered ground glass joints have been made for quite a while, [1] particularly for stoppers for glass bottles and retorts. [2] Crude glass joints could still be made to seal well by grinding the two parts of a joint against each other using an abrasive grit, but this led to variations between joints and they would not seal well if mated to a different joint.
