![]() "harry" wrote in message m... Hi Folks: A guy at work bought his old guitar amp to get looked at. The tech said he needed new tubes. (probably really doesn't). However, I needed to bring in my 833A and said he needed 2 tubes like this!! He was hysterical! The tech and I got talking about BIG glass tubes. I was wondering if anyone knows of a bigger glass tube than 833a , 852 , 861, 4-1000a etc. Thanks! Harry These are pretty big. They're described as 5 feet tall. They're from Powel Crosley's 500 kw WLW transmitter: http://hawkins.pair.com/wlw/wlw3.jpg This is from: http://hawkins.pair.com/wlw.shtml Frank Dresser |

THE BIGGEST I EVER SAW WERE IN A 150 KW TRANSMITTER IN GERMANY. THEY
WERE TALLER THAN I WAS AND ABOUT 18" THICK. TWO OF THEM SUPPLIED THE CARRIER WITH ONE OPERATING ONLY ON PEAKS. THE EMERCENCY POWER WAS SUPPLIED BY A DIESEL RAILROAD ENGINE. WEISSKIRCHEN GERMANY WAS THE LOCATION. ANY OLD AFNERS AROUND. CHECK MY WEBSITE: www.dialcover.com Bill Turner, excuse caps, short answers, stroke.

Wow! Thanks! Cool pics! I'd like to find something like that on eBay!
It sure would make a neat lamp, or tesla coil! Harry Gregg wrote in message news:PNd%b.76310$Hy3.53498@edtnps89...

It was used by an American propaganda station beaming programming to Cuba, IIRC. It's all glass, about 6' high and was a self-contained oscillator and 500KW power amplifier. Only three were ever made. -- Gregg *It's probably useful, even if it can't be SPICE'd* http://geek.scorpiorising.ca |
