Default Re: UY41 Valve.

I don't really see what a UY42 is doing in an Irish radio anyway. I'm pretty sure Ireland has always had 240V mains supplies, like the UK. I wonder if Philips were using up some old UY42 stocks, given that the rest of the valves are B9A Novals. If it was a late production UY42 then it would have been 250V rated.

By the way, the model number will be B3IF80U. IF is the Philips country code for Ireland (Irish Freestate).
