The Famous EF50 of WW2
collections
Duncan Brown's Donation
The EF50 was one of the 'wonder' valves of WW2 making possible high frequency IF strips (45 MHz) for Radar. It was also a relatively short lived valve and was thus manufactured in vast quantities.
Here we have an example of one made by Tungsram.
The wide glass tube envelope is 3 mm in diameter, and excluding the B9G base pins is 60 mm tall.
