Post by: wb1ead on October 09, 2012, 08:04:12 PM
Hi all..been rearranging some numerical tubes in my collection and came across this one..made by Raytheon..9 pin minature..sorta resembles a "shorter" 6BQ5 physically..what is the tube basing diagram for this?..is it an equivalent type??..like the 5750 is a 6BA6W and so on..what's the filament voltage too??..not sure why but I seem to recall maybe this is a low power "final" type tube for 11mtrs or sumptin..??..that's the only one in the bunch I have no clue on..both RCA and Sylvania manuals tell nothing about it..muchas gratias for any input on this.......TNX!!        73 de DAVE

Some of the tube manuals place "industrial" tubes in a separate section and many of the miniature 4 number tubes were considered industrial, military, high reliability, etc. by the manufacturers and some of the tube manuals list these in a separate section (or sections).  The 5763 was used as a multiplier and/or driver in quite a few vintage transmitters.
