DATA ON OVER 1700 CV VALVES ON DVD
Thanks
to a Herculean effort by Adri de Keijzer of the Netherlands, the CV
specifications of
more than 1700 military valves are now available on DVD.
As well as the valve
acceptance data, some of which runs to several pages, there are nearly 800
pages of information on testing, packaging etc
and a further 46 pages of Functional Specifications in tabular form.
Painstakingly digitally photographed from 7 volumes occupying approximately
2 feet of shelf space, the images were cleaned up electronically and then
formatted onto a CD.
This
reference data is a must for anyone with an interest in British military
valves and the equipment which uses them.
Available from Valve &
Tube Supplies priced £15 each (inc. p&p within UK) from the address below.

HT SUPPLIES FOR BATTERY
OPERATED PORTABLE RADIOS
LET “
HT PACK
” DC to DC CONVERTERS BRING YOUR RADIO TO LIFE
 Small size, can replace L5512/B125
(90V) and B101 (67.5V) layer batteries.
High efficiency, better than 80%.
Low noise, virtually no interference.
Switch on automatically when load is applied, no current drain off load.
Excellent regulation, better than original layer batteries.
Powered by either 1 or 2 Duracell MN1203 4.5V flat batteries.
The HT Pack 6 -120 has been designed to
supply the HT and LT supplies for vintage radios from a single
6 Volt source. The high voltage outputs are 120 Volts tapped at 90 Volts,
45 Volts and 22.5 Volts for
anode, screen and detector supplies. LT outputs suitable for 5 Volt and 2
Volt filament valves are also provided. The LT outputs are set at 5.4 Volts
and 2.2 Volts to allow for volt drop on the supply leads. The unit senses
the presence of an LT load and then switches on the DC to DC converter to
supply the HT supplies, which means that virtually no current (less than 100
microamps) is drawn from the source until the radio is turned
on.
The preferred input power is a 6 Volt sealed
lead acid rechargeable battery although Nickel Cadmium, NiMH or even a
stabilized 6 Volt mains supply could be used.
