7b7 tube sub
7/13/2004 11:01:06 PMRalph Schneider
I need a 7b7 tube to fix a radio and I can't locate one, My subtitute manual says a 7t7 or a 7aj7 will work. They are both available and cheap, would I have any problems using either one as a sub? would one be better than the other?

Hi

These tubes may not be interchangeable in your radio?

A 7B7 has 150 ma filament current. If this tube is used in an AC/DC radio 7T7 and 7AJ7 won't work. Their filaments draw 300 ma. These tubes won't light in a series wired filament radio.

If not sure about the type, listing tubes will identify an AC/DC radio.

There are plenty of interchangeable loctal tubes, tubes starting with "7".

If you don't find a tube send me your address.

I should have mentioned that in the tube substitution book I have a 7T7 and 7AJ7 are not listed as subs. A 7AH7 is considered a sub. Tubes 7A7, 7A7LM, and 7H7 is listed as ok for parallel-filament circuits. I do recall having problems sometimes for other tubes when subs are listed as ok for parallel filaments. It does gets a little testy determining correct subs. Getting a 7B7 is best bet.
