Philco Model 511 Pilot Lamp and #913 Display Tube
5/9/2010 6:15:08 AMLou
Hello:

I have two questions for the forum today:

1. Who knows the proper type # pilot lamp that goes into a Philco model 511 TRF set? The data I have on it only references a Philco part #.

2.Does anyone happen to have in their tube inventory an RCA number 913 display tube? This is a tube that looks like a metal 6L6 but has a glass window at one end. It is a 1 inch osilloscope tube ( yes - 1 inch!!).

Thanks for any info!!

Here is a link for the Philco dial lamps.

Have seen that 1 inch tube before in a stereo receiver.

Unfortunatley the Philco literature only shows a code # for the lamp - it does not match any of the numbers on the dial lamp list you referenced.

Thanks

The lamp is across a 2.5 volt filament winding. Unless it's an unusual socket use #41 or #42 lamp.

There are other 1" CRTs but they don't have the metal shell. Are you planning on building a project with one?

PS

I bought an oscilloscope at Deerfield that uses this 1 inch tube, believe it or not. I plan to restore it
