I recently got two of these tubes as a present.
I would like to know what type of socket is needed. An extensive search on the Internet did not yield any result. Thanks in advance. |

I notice that the G2 dissapation max (60w) is greater than an anode max (40w).
From what I gather, RF tetrodes will generally accept higher than specified G2 voltage, providing the anode volts are kept down. So, could this be a good contender for triode connection? Just conjecture. I think this is an experimenters tube. Edit: He he, just noticed the common G2 between sections. That'll spoil it. ![]() Edit2: Which is why the dissapation is higher

Hi,
Glad I could help. From looking at your name I assume you live in Belgium or France so if you don't mind you have a good chance of finding what you need here: HALFIN INTL You can send Mr.Michel Wiams an e-mail or call him directly at this # 02.209.29.01. Hope it helps, Cheers,

Yes, it helps.
I think the ARCOR site is a treasure. I will call Mr. Wiams of Halfin and see if he can supply me with two of these B8S's Thanks again. |
