 From a previous posting ....if anyone is interested. Norm


For those interested in tube TC's I have some Eimac YC-156 tubes.  This 
tube is a ceraminc high mu triode and are pulls from MRI machines and are 
tested and have full output.

The tube is rated at 5000 watt plate dissipation.

Max plate voltage 6500 V
Plate current 1A .  Plate current in pulsed service up to 64 amps
Filament  voltage  is 15 V -at- 15 A.

The tube does not need a socket.  The tube is made to sit in a clear hole 
with the grid ring bolted to the chassis.  Filament connections are via 
8-32 screws.

I have the Eimac spec sheets and I can send you a jpeg of the tube if your 
interested.

Tube is 9" high and 5" in diameter.

Contact me direct.
