Extras ▼

 

The 6Y5V is a full wave rectifier with an external metal screening can. Why screen a mains rectifier? There must have been a good reason as the shaped can would add considerably to the cost. Is it possible that with vibrator HT the harmonics needed excluding from the rest of the circuit.
The plain reverse. The can is assembled from four parts.
The classic envelope is 40 mm in diameter and, excluding the UX6 base pins, is 91 mm tall.
