Somehow, out west, a couple of large tubes have migrated.  None of my books list this tube...  Y-448

A plate cap and 5 pins underneath...  have you seen them used anywhere and what are they?

Thanks, Tom, 73

Apparently some sort of strapping 4-1000.

Yep, it's a very strapping 4-1000A.


The fil is 30A and is normally 21A.  Plus, if it is equivalent to a 4PR-1000A as stated, then the tube has been "blueprinted" and the element tolerances are near perfect.


The extra fil emission and 4PR specs tell me this is probably a tube designed for extreme pulse service. It will still function FB in any other service too.


This is a nice find and a very FB tube if it's in good shape.

Tom

As stated they are a variant of the 4pr-1000. I have one in my collection. I have at least 1 of every 4-1000 variant ever made.

Also, If those tubes are surplus to your needs. I may be interested in them.
