5Z3 vs. 5U4 are these the same?
9/20/2009 3:23:16 PMDave Froehlich
Hello All,
Other than the base, are these tubes the same? Is the 5Z3 capable of a little more current than a 5U4 or should I consider them to be identical?
If this is true, the 5U4 is the octal version of the 5Z3.

Thanks,

Dave

Yes, same tube, different base/pinout.
