The valve shown is an MKT4/7, ie. fitted with a B7 basecap. Most MKT4/5's were fitted with B5 base caps with the screengrid connected to a side terminal.

The MKT4 shown in the photo is a late (c. 1950) specimen and has a distinct Cossor look about it. It is probably a Cossor MP/Pen re-labeled as an MOV valve.

In single ended audio configuration would provide an adequate 2.5 Watts.

Some pre-war EMI television receivers used the MKT4/7 as a line output valve.

It was a design that was produced by several different manufacturers. Note also that MP-Pen, MPPen, MP/Pen are variants describing the same type of valve.

The classic envelope is 53 mmin diameter, and excluding the B7 base pins, is 110 mm tall.
