Dennis, Is this any good to you? http://www.tubeampdoctor.com/en/shop_Tube_sockets_and_Accessories_9_PIN_tube _socket/Novalplug_Noval_tube_base_adapter_2163 The price seems reasonable. Colin.

Yeah. I think they're likey "usable-old-stock". (Hence my not really a source comment) I dont think anyone is making anything new besides the 8 pin octal and 9 pin ones everyone

For jobs like this, I use my largest soldering iron tip for its high heat capacity. Soldering then takes just a second or two; the large surface area transfers a lot of heat rapidly and the large

The driver hybrid on the 7000 series vertical output amplifiers have a pressed connection to the top of the metal can package which goes to ground. It is held in place with a plastic clip instead of

Thank you all for advice on my 2456 u800.155-0241-01/-02/-00 are they all the same ?Or do I need faster chip for 2465/2465b? Thanksmoe mm0mrmSent from Yahoo Mail on Android [Non-text portions of

Hi, I don't think this should be of any problem. The die itself is attached to the bottom of the IC, not the to of the case where you'll solder it. If you are worried, put the IC on some cooling,

Hi Dave, Thank you for your offer but for the moment I think I have a better solution. The pins coming out of a tube base are about 1/4" (6.8mm). If I try to push a longer pin into a tube socket it

Hi David, He has a 7-pin socket saver listed for $25. You are right about him not being cheap. Thanks for the link. Dennis Tillman W7PF

Hi Fabio, I have two 466s, an early and a late model, and both have the grounding strap soldered to the output amp if I remember correctly. However, I doubt it really matters as the hybrid has a

I have an early 464 manual that shows a braid on the VOA, just across the device. I have two 466 manuals, one earlier and one later that also show the 464's(!) VOA. Neither shows a

Maybe use one of those modern CPU heatsinks, like this? http://www.legitreviews.com/images/reviews/1303/rolimatech-Armageddon-Front2.jpg This one's respectable:

I wouldn't call it a proper "source", but the last 7-pin socket saver I got was from Jim Cross @ http://vacuumtubesinc.com I had to send him a note specifically for it, and he scrounged a reasonable

Sure, I'm just wondering if that's the right dimensions. I was thinking, maybe you should just take a female 7 pin DIN plug, and put some wire in instead of the female contacts, and bend them out to

Hi Cheater, This is a socket (and an expensive one at that). This is the female part of what I am looking for. I'm looking for the plug that goes into this socket (the male part). Dennis Tillman

Hi Fabio, A braid as on the picture is exactly what I thought you meant but I used the wrong word. Just checked 3(!) 465's, no braid! Maybe someone on this forum knows more. The braid may have been

Thanks Raymond, It's not really a tab, I didn't use well the word shielding..., it's a copper braid, that connects to the mumetal shielding of the CRT. Q service has one vertical amplifier output

Dennis, fully aware of this. Just wanted to call it and spare you any more time lost on this endeavour. I want you to have more time so you can make other cool stuff :) [TekScopes]

Dennis I have several new 9 pin plug bases here which you are welcome to- these are in essence a plastic base with the pins projecting from both sides of the plastic and were originally used pcb

None of my IC-VOA-equipped 465's has a tab soldered to its housing! At least try without it first! The bolt underneath the IC is screwed into the chassis and takes care of grounding AFAIK. The circuit
