Hi All,
I went to a local Hamfest last weekend and scored a large triode tube
(valve).  It is a Philips TB 4/1250
about 4 1/2" diameter and 6" tall with a very substantial anode.  I have
tried searching on the web for info on this tube, but so far no luck.
Does anyone have any data on this tube? - anode voltage, heater voltage,
wattage, pin out etc?
I hope to use this as a tube tesla coil using a microwave oven
transformer (2Kv)
I also scored 2 Ducon mica capacitors .0002 at 7KV and .001 at 11KV. I
am
hoping these will form the basis for a decent tank circuit.
All the above items, plus a ceramic base for the tube cost me $15
(Australian).  The Tube was new in original carton!
Any help on Tube Tesla coils would be most welcome.
Regards
Ralph Down
