Tube Data Sheets & RCA Manuals

Post by Pollys13a »

Whats the best source for tube data sheets and manuals, manuals which give fuller information, like examples of circuits? I think an edition of an RCA manual would be what I'm after?
Thanks.

For actual tube circuit design, the Radiotron Designers Handbook version 4.

The rca book has very detailed info on all the tubes they use to make, but just common / general spec’s on other tubes that they did not make.

You should also get a reprint of the GE book and then you will be covered pretty well.
