A while back there was a 12v tube thread.

I saw this:

advertized in September Scientific American. The ad (on the
builditplayit.com site) says it uses a "double triode" and
requires 8-AA batteries (nominally 12V).

I wonder if it is a 12V tube kit. Perhaps a 12AE7 or similar.

Anyone know?


Can't speak for the kit but I know some guys have successfully used a
plain old 12AT/AU/AX7 at 12 volts with acceptable results.

There were a couple of articles in Popular Electronics in the early
sixties about doing that. And oscillator and then an amplifier,
if I remember the sequence properly. From memory, the author
referred to them as "starved circuits".

I have a vague memory of trying one of them in the early seventies,
but I honestly can't remember if I did or didn't.
