Extras ▼

 

The ML4 was quite widely used as an RF oscillator, as a single-valve phase splitter, and as a driver for larger valves.
Although sometimes listed as a triode output valve, the ML4 was the definitive descendent of the famous (or infamous) Type KL1 of 1926 and was primarily a professional and military type, little used in domestic radios.

The classic envelope is 44 mm in diameter and, excluding the B5 base pins, is 101 mm tall.
