Did you try to email the guy you bought it from? Some guy here in
Redmond, OR has been selling old Chinese military radio stuff at ham
swap meets and also on Ebay. Did you get it from him?

I think that is a current production Shuguang tube but I do not have a
Shuguang databook here.

I do have a Toshiba 1970 tube handbook which lists a Japanese 1B2 type
as a diode-pentode. Ri=500K, mu=13.5, B7G basing and 1.4V filament.

Check your circuit and see if the basing looks like that of a 1S5 tube.
If so, give the 1S5 a try, I think it should work.

Otherwise you can try tube dealers, but the 1B2 is the kind of thing
that folks try NOT to get from Shugang because there's little demand.

According to http://makezine.com/images/store/Vac...be%20Radio.pdf the 1B2
is equivalent to the fairly common 1S5 tube.
