Transmitting Tubes

Click here for a quick reference chart of common transmitting tube data, put together by Larry, W6LEG. This data is for reference only, and cannot be guaranteed as accurate.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!

(click on picture to enlarge)

We just got in a supply of the 4CX250FG / 8621  transmitting tetrodes, also in "removed from military spares" condition.  This is the 26.5 volt filament version (only .54 amps required!) of the 4CX250B, which has a 6 volt filament.  Eimac tube data sheet for the 4CX250FG is here: http://www.cpii.com/docs/datasheets/75/4CX250FG-8621.pdf    Very nice shape, sold with a 30 day satisfaction guarantee. Refund or exchange, less only shipping, if not delighted, if returned to us in original condition. We will be happy to supply pairs that have been run together on request. Tubes run together tend to have similar characteristics. Both Eimac and Amperex available (specify preference). Never mix brands because of differences in anode airflow resistance!  Price: $49 each! (Order Now!)


4PR1000A / 8189

We frequently have available the 4PR1000A (JAN 8189), which is the pulse rated version of the 4-1000A.  The 4PR1000A is the "cream of the crop" of the 4-1000A's, tested to ex tr emely high voltages encountered in pulse service . We typically get Triton (Triton bought Eimac's glass tube division in 1998) and Amperex.  If interested in our removed from equipment / tested / guaranteed stock and pricing (based on brand and percent of new tube output under test), please inquire. Stock changes daily.

We also have many of the 4PR1000A which do NOT pass our stringent testing, but which still LOOK beautiful (an extremely impressive tube for display) which we sell for that purpose. Many have made very impressive lamps with this tube, mounting it on a wooden base, with white LED's or low voltage bulbs shining upward through the (very convenient) holes in the tube base. This arrangement gives the visual impression of lighted tube filaments, without having to actually light the tube filaments... something you would NOT want to do. These very beautiful but sick tubes are $25 each for Triton, and $29 each for Amperex, when available.  Order as 4PR1000A "dud", and specify brand desired. NOTE:  Currently out-of stock on Amperex.

Eimac YC-156, YC-156A, and 3CPX5000A7

We frequently have these three tube types in stock, though not all of the time. EMAIL or call (best) for current stock and pricing. Our tubes of these types are pulls from commercial service from working equipment, and are always sold subject to your satisfactory test (on a timely basis).  If not completely satisfied, we offer refund or exchange (if available) less only shipping / packing costs.  ASK around. Our reputation is unsurpassed. We do maintain waiting lists for next arrivals if we are out of stock when you contact us. (No obligation.) Due to shipping / handling concerns, we do not ship this item outside the 48 contiguous US states. Manufacturer's data sheet for the 3CX5000A7 is here: http://www.cpii.com/docs/datasheets/76/3CX5000A7.pdf   The data sheet is for the non-pulse rated version.  Ours are all pulse rated! No sockets are required for these tubes, a big savings in amplifier construction.


ITT JAN DOD-006

This transmitting tube made by ITT for the military (department of defense) is equivalent to the Burle 7213.

In class AB2, 600 mhz max. frequency.    Maximum usable frequency for this tube is 1215 Mhz if in a cavity. 1.5 kw maximum.

Heater is 5.5 volts, 17 amps. Grid dissipation is 50 watts.  New / unused.   Price is $195.00 !

 


Amperex or Eimac 8247 / 4PR125A or 4D21 / 4-125A tubes

We have a small supply of these Amperex (made in France) 4PR-125A and Eimac 8247 / 4PR-125A and Eimac 4D21 / 4-125A  high vacuum, radial beam tetrodes for sale. These tubes were removed from military equipment which was working at the time of removal from service. We have no way to test these tubes, but we offer a 30 day satisfaction guarantee, less only shipping / handling should return or exchange be necessary. If you have a manufacturer or type preference, please state so in "comments" section of order form, and we will advise if your choice is no longer available. A data sheet on the pulse-rated tubes may be examined here: http://www.g8wrb.org/data/Eimac/4PR125A.pdf

Eimac 4-65A

New, but out-of-box. Our price: $59.00

The 4-65A / QB3/200 is a small radial-beam tetrode. In most applications, no forced air is required, normal radiation and convection cooling being adequate.
Short, heavy leads and low inter-electrode capacities permit its use at maximum ratings through 150 MHz.

Eimac YU-191A, Mullard YD-1172, and Valvo YD-1172 water-cooled industrial triodes.

These tubes are designed for service as an industrial oscillator at frequencies up to 120 Mhz. We currently have the four tubes shown in the photo available: One Eimac YU-191A, one Mullard YD-1172, and two Valvo YD-1172. These tubes are of course subject to prior sale, so please verify stock before ordering!

These three types are essentially the identical tube, and are used interchangeably in a wide range of industrial equipment. While the tubes we have in stock look like new or almost like new, they were in fact removed from retired industrial equipment, which appeared to have had very little (or no) use.

While we do not have the ability to test these tubes, your satisfaction is absolutely guaranteed, and backed up with a 30 day refund or exchange privilege, less only shipping and handling charges. A detailed data sheet for the Mullard YD-1172 may be examined at this link:

http://pdf1.alldatasheet.co.kr/datasheet-pdf/view/234609/NXP/YD1170.html

Weight is approximately 4 pounds. Price: $ 595 each! (Order Now!)
