    Does it have a USB port?

    One of our local geniuses will be along shortly to identify that valve, 'cause I sure can't!
    QAnon / GOP Republicans mentally lack the necessary intelligence to even tell a decent lie (Ex: A cabal of Satanic, cannibalistic pedophiles run a global child sex trafficking ring and conspired against former President Dotard dRUMPf during his term in office... Jewish space lasers, etc.). What in the hell makes anyone believe these melon heads can actually govern?

    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.

    What does a Tung Sol ts227 go in? Audio or rf application?

    Not having any luck with a search engine finding that particular tube.

    Like that post was...
    Moving on, my posts are not helpful

    It's a type 27. Many manufacturers made them under license from possibly Westinghouse. I think from what I've read this would be used as an audio preamp. Was introduced in the 1920s.
