Title: Tube Bases
Post by: Dylan on August 19, 2001, 06:27:00 pm

I have a question that I hope someone can answer: 4-pin bases are called "UX", 5-pin bases are called "UY". So what are 6- and 7-pin bases called? Is a 6-pin a "UZ"? If it is, than what could the 7-pin be?

I have seen some people call all American bases "UX", but I know this isn't right, so what do you call them?

Here's another question: Why do some tubes like German rectifiers use mesh plates?

Thanks for any help.
