Thanks for looking. -Al Looks like a TV high voltage rectifier socket. The slots around the edge are for the filament wires from the flyback transformer. Of course, just because it was made for one purpose doesn't mean that it can't be used for another. Since it has all the contacts, a power tube would work. -- Jim Mueller To get my real email address, replace wrongname with eportiz. Then replace nospam with sacbeemail. |

Well, Jim, these HV TV sockets usually dont have all the contracts! He doesnt show the bottom but often there are only 4 socket pins... which is why I pitched all mine a while back. worthless for anything but the sets they were designed for, which is the scourge of most TV parts...

Nope... the bottom view shows all pins installed. I guess they'd wotk

sure would, but that is rare to see all the pins there... I wonder if it
was an aftermarket version where you could remove the ones you didnt need??? I worked at a parts distributor in the late 70's, sold a bunch of these, but dont recall if there were "universal". I know we had a whole rack of different ones... and, they were pretty dusty from not selling! Mark Oppat "K3HVG" wrote in message ... Nope... the bottom view shows all pins installed.

Why remove the pins you don't need? The only thing on that end of the tube is the filament and if any of the pins are used as tie points they better be at filament potential. The voltage is high enough to jump to any pin that was significantly different. Since that is the case, there should only be one pin used as a tie point, for the filament voltage dropping resistor. Because the unused socket elements couple electrostatically with the filiment/cathode, and make excellent collectors of dust, launchers of corona, and generators of squeal in the audio. Besides, there isn't all that much extra power available in the HV circuit, you want to squelch as many leakage paths as possible. -Chuck |

This is all very interesting, but does anyone want it?
BTW, no one mentioned the threads. I assumed they were for a forced air duct fitting. Anyone ever seen a TV like that? -Al Chuck Harris wrote: Jim Mueller wrote: Why remove the pins you don't need?
