Rectifier Tubes

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This page contains a list of rectifier tubes some of which may be obsolete. Contributors included many TV high voltage rectifiers and

damper tubes. Most of these were deleted because I doubt that many experimenters are building TV sets from scratch. A few

representatives have been left in for those who may be tinkering with other applications of high voltages. Be careful.

Most home brewers these days are using silicon rectifiers but a few still prefer to use tubes. This page is for them

Types 117L7 through 117P7 contain a half wave rectifier and beam power amplifier. They are listed here as well as on

the power tubes page. Some data is missing because I couldn't find it. If you can contribute this data pleas email it to me.
