  Today Lieven taught me about the curved slot Bendix 6080, and Aldo the similarities and differences between women and tubes!
 
It's been a very educational day for me.....

You like anything curvy Stavros

 

[rosgr63]

I do, but I am not the only one..............

  When looking trough all the boxes in the 6080 section I found four of these mystery tubes. The labels aren't readable anymore and I don't even know if they are 6080 tube types.
 
Does any of the tube experts know what these are please?
 

 

 

 
Even my tube guy had no idea, so I got them for free. Now if I only knew what they were...
Help? Please? Thank you.

It looks a lot like a CV4060 (VX6114) Beam Tetrode Power tube.

See second picture... almost has the part of the faded lettering. If not it, pretty close

Thanks for the offer Ultra in the past I would have taken them to experiment with.
But I have no time to experiment I already have a experimental OTL amp to build that I haven't
gotten to yet.

I must think of something to destruct you.............
 
Can you test a G37 as a 5U4G?

Yes but you might better test it as a GZ34/5AR4
The readings will be high if tested as a 5U4 it has a much lower voltage drop

 

[rosgr63]

But it's more curvy than a GZ34, how do I compensate for the shape???????

 

[Ultrainferno]

use a hammer?

No I found out over time that the flat ones are just as good.
Initially might not look as good but in the end you still get a WOW.

Lieven has a good approach, I have to think about Glenn's statement!
