Another spice model

Lately I ran across the specs for the 7695 tube, which also has a 50V at 150ma heater, but can do about 4 watts out, instead of about 1 2/3 watts from a 50C5. The 7754 is the 6.3V version. It's load would be 1100 ohms instead of 2.5K. Rp=7K, gm=11000umhos, G1 voltage=-11V, G2=130V, plate current 100ma. I haven't obtained any of these tubes, but they do look interesting. They are physically fatter, regular 9 pin miniature tube socket but wide body (like a compactron they made with a regular 9 pin pattern). I'd have to change the OPTs though.

Here's a 3f4 spice model:

Geek:

Thanks, the spice.txt file looks like the one that I had. I have a few ideas to extreme to try in the real world, until they work in the virtual world.

WA2ISE:

The 7695 sounds interesting, I don't think that I have any of them, but I do have some other "fat boy" 9 pin tubes. I can't find the numbers right now but I remember a video output tube and a dual dissimilar triode for vertical output service. Thanks for the model, if I make something in the virtual world, I guess I will have to find some of the tubes.
