Does it have a USB port? :-D
One of our local geniuses will be along shortly to identify that valve, 'cause I sure can't!
At first glance it looks like the ubiquitous UV201A triode, but it's missing the evacuation tit on top and it has a bulb within a bulb. Once upon a time I had a collection of antique tubes for servicing antique radios, I thought I knew most of them, but this is a strange one.
I helped restore a WW2 vintage European radio that had tubes shaped like that, it was German I think. I was a teenager the last time I saw bulb shaped. If it is American, then it is more antique than Eddie.
It's a Tung Sol ts227 marked tested good in 1934 :)Quote:

Not having any luck with a search engine finding that particular tube.
yeah, Eddie probably used those back in the 30's lol.Quote:

A wise man once said, "You only ever get one 1L6 in life."
I rebuilt a Hammarlund Super Pro, it used these old fashioned form factor tubes...
Was a great experience. the "27" is listed as an audio amp, also used as an RF detector
Wonder if you could make a regenerative one tube receiver with that, might be amusing
Just wait until the audiophilesphools discover these...
