Eimac 2X1000A high power rectifier tubes

[Sam Goldwasser]

I just found a couple of these. Does anyone have specs? They must be
useful for something besides a museum.

Thanks.

There is an excellent chance that your question has come up and resulted
in information being passed back and forth on sci.electronics.repair (or
other appropriate newsgroup).

Good idea. Thanks!

Why doesn't normal Google also search the groups?

Sir SAMuel :

How about interim use as a pair of bedside lamps....or probably mor
impressive...as side pillar mounts for your desk nameplate.

I once did that with an array of KU band Microwave "plumbing"

BTW is it appreciably taller that its small brother counterpart....th

The 2X1000A doesn't look anything like that. The entire section surrounding
the plate is a massive finned heatsink with a cap on top. It looks more
like one of those coaxial metal-ceramic tubes, but with a glass envelope
instead and 4 pin base like the one above. From memory, it's only about
7 or 8 inches high. If I get a chance, I'll take a pic.

I powered the filament and tested it with a low voltage AC source. It
works but definitely not impressive as the glow of the cathode is totally
hidden so it doesn't even make a good desk lamp. 3-1000Zs work better as
light bulbs. ;-)

The side pillars might be an idea. These are built sturdy.
