I am sorry to say in my humbleest voice the only valve I can identify with is the critter in the middle on the bottom it’s a 2cx/3cx and I suspect the one on the far right is the 811
NOW JUST WATCH ME GET SHOT 9IN MID FLIGHT

My guesses
L-R back row: one of the 3-500 variants, 829, QQV06-40A, 6155 AKA 4-125A The external anode tube in the middle is too small to be a 3CX1500/8877. My guess is it's a 8930 which is a 4CX250B on Steroids (bigger anode cooler). 73 Paul G4DCV (On 24/12/2012 16:51, john g8xgs wrote:

Hi Augusto
Lovely idea! I claim 3 out of 5 correct, the 829, QQV06/40 (near enough to the QQE06-40) and the 8930. See earlier message :-) I didn't get the RS1026 or the T130-1. I've never come across those. Now scratching my head about the ceramic tubes. Biggest tube in the shack is a 8877 on 2m but that's chicken feed compared to these :-) 73 paul G4DCV On 24/12/2012 18:33, i2jjr-hotmail.com wrote:

Smallest tube bottom right side of the picture in the 2011 version
is a 3CX100A7, the ceramic version of a 2C39. It also has a 7???
series number that escapes me at the moment.

Hi Paul G4DCV ,

I loved so much the 8877 ! These years there was a lot of cellflex, 7/16 connectors, and Hi-Voltage heavy junk everywhere ! Sorrily I have no 8877 more. There was a brand new one in original eimac box somewhere in my cellar, before I moved to another house and then to another , but nowadays I cannot find it anymore, much to my regret! What you see on top of the Thomson CSF monster is the Amperex 8930 .... just to render the idea of it ! I would not love to have it falling on my feet, HI HI !!! That's why I love QRP so much .... ";^)) But we'll better stop here the O.T. ... these have not so much to do with SDR , I suppose. Have my best whishes , Augusto HB9TZA / I2JJR ( O.T. : Oversized Tubes ) Il 24/12/2012 20.01, Paul ha scritto:

Yes it is, not exactly that, but a member of its family.

Hi Augusto
Hope they will forgive us for being off topic. I do use a SDR on receive with tube amps on TX..... What made me smile is how many of these have been in amplifiers I have owned and/or built over the years. In the mid 1970s when I first came on 2m SSB I used the 829 and then the QQV06-40A which was better than the 829 because it was already neutralised. I have available 2 x 8930 in a K2RIW 70cm amp- those are nice tubes. In the shack is a rack mounted 8877 for 144MHz. And on 23cms I have a 7289 water cooled in a cavity so similar to the tube in the picture. Then tubes not in your pictures, there's a pair of GI7Bs on 2m, a single GS31B on 2m which is my day to day amp, and a single 3-500 on HF (I dont do much HF so just need QRP on those low frequencies :-) Now that Thomson is interesting!! Have a great Christmas 73 Paul G4DCV On 24/12/2012 19:55, i2jjr-hotmail.com wrote:

Hi Group like I said I would be put in my place, the strange thing is I have seen a "qqvo6-40" as used an ex-wd amplifiers ,for some reason it did not register in my grey matter. also I have a 4cx250b "kicking about" but I also have an " amp uk ranger" based on 4x 811,s , sorry to say I bought it and have used it ,if I say 10 times, I would be liying the truth is :- I am more interested in using the earth and the environment , rather than trying to change things, I rest my case before I dig myself a hole. ` to Simon G4ELI/HB9DRV please accept my apologies for leading this bunch astray , I will considder myself being severely "scolded" and sent out to live with dogs and that’s a whole new story. those that want to know more need to ask simon or contact me direct

the Thompson CSF TH382 beam tetrode data summary : Heater 4,2V 125A , Anode 6,5kV 4.5A ; Anode dissip. 12500 W , fmax 1000MHz . Not for ham uses, hi ... More here: http://www.g8wrb.org/data/Thales/TH382.pdf The site is interesting in that there are lot of tubes data sheets listed. Maybe it helps somebody . Again, my best wishes to you all !
