Help - German WWII Military Valves

[Ragnar Otterstad]

> I have recently come across a small collection of German valves of a

> They are about the size of a B7G or B9A valve and have brown bakelite

> Many are marked as made by Telefunken or BAL716 and some also as

> LG3        03 43 (this one has a larger base)   RECTIFIER
> RG1202     46 44                                         DIODE
> RV2.4P45   43 44                                         HEXODE
> RV12P2C02  32 41                                      PENTODE
> SF1A       43 43                                           PENTODE
> LV6        22 43                                              PENTODE
> RG12D60    34 42                                          RECTIFIER
> SD1A       53 41 etc                                     TRIODE

> Another with no visible markings has a smaller 5 contact base.
