Hi!
I'm looking for SPICE models of PL504 and PL509 to use with NI Multisim. I tried to use these models in NI Multisim, but did not work. Does Multisim's SPICE language different?

You should be able to use modes above, but first you have to build a new pentode schematic model with pins named according to .subcircuit model of pentode used. Spice model for PLxyz/ELxyz is the same, as no heater voltage/current is spiced.
