Tube Noob! need help with tubes lots of tubes

if you have any schematics, datasheet´s of 2J27L, 12J1L, 1T4, C3G or any of the other audio tubes i would be really thankful

You can get VT spec sheets from Frank's

I find this site by Max Robinson contains lots of ideas for both simple and more advanced projects.

Dear Matthias and others,

As promised I'll start here with links to some projects on the web using the Russian battery valve 2SH27L (=2J27L).

First, a link to a nice collection of datasheets for this tube, with a translation of the Russian text into German:
http://www.fragjanzuerst.de/rb/2SH27L.pdf

Then, four links to various receiver projects (mainly "audion" receivers, in other words, simple "straight" receiver designs):

http://www.jogis-roehrenbude.de/Lese.../Audion2V4.htm

A link showing some simple oscillators:
http://www.elexs.de/roe2SH27L.htm

Finally, some amplifier designs.
A single-ended power amplifier from Hungary with 2SH27L and 4P1L: http://www.jgytf.u-szeged.hu/~kadar/...1l/page_01.htm
And a push-pull amplifier from Germany with twenty-two 2SH27L tubes ! : http://www.jogis-roehrenbude.de/Lese...schreibung.htm

I have built and tested a preamp stage with the 2SH27L based on the previously mentioned schematic from Hungary (University of Szeged), it works very well. I add a hand-drawn schematic, please note that the cathode resistor is a 2k Cermet trimpot. This should be adjusted in such a way that the anode voltage is 67 V (= the anode current is 2 mA).

Hopefully these hyperlinks will be copied properly to the diyaudio forum, and the handdrawn schematic will be readable.

Best regards,

I agree that 1T4 (a.k.a. DF91?) is a nice miniature 7-pin battery pentode. It needs 1.4 v for the filament. I built my very first single tube grid-leak detector AM headphone receiver with reaction control using this little tube, with a Repanco LW/MW tuning coil.

I built a regenerative reciever kit that used two 1T4 tubes, one as an RF amplifier and the other as the regenerative detector. Unfortunately one evening a while back I got the supply terminals confused and put the 45 volt B+ across the tube heaters. Thanks for reminding me I need to pick up some more.

Thx for the awesome replays. i will absolutely out the 2SH27L pre amp stage! twenty-two 2SH27L amp omg! that was a really nice amp!

btw i just ordered a Tube amp! an Dynavox VR-70E for just under 400euro i just had to buy it! seen some wery impressive
modifications on an vr-70 so i had to try one out!


thx again for the nice replay i will try out the nice looking schematic seems strait forward enogh.

Dear Matthias and others,

It is a little busy right now, but here are some projects for the C3G pentode (I don't have experience with this tube myself):

First, a few headphone amplifiers:

http://www.jogis-roehrenbude.de/Lese...schreibung.htm

http://www.jogis-roehrenbude.de/Lese...ns-C3g/c3g.htm

Then, a few RIAA preamplifiers (for turntable cartridge):

http://www.ak-tubes.de/

Finally, a funny tutorial about calculating preamp stages with a pentode like the C3G:

I must apologize for the fact that all these documents are in German (no problem for a Dutchman like me, but perhaps a problem for other readers). You may try Babelfish for a mechanical translation from German to English, also: the schematics are simple and straightforward.

Best regards,

Aren van Waarde
