Hi all, whilst sorting through some literature I came across this old Brimar valve booklet. On the last page is a price list (see attachment), dated 1/3/61.
Maybe some of our older members can help me out here, why were some valves P.T. exempt? For example 5R4G rectifier exempt, 5U4G not exempt. The only reasoning I can come up with is that the P.T. exempt valves all seem to be Industrial types rather than Commercial.
I look forward to your replies.
Regards, Rob.
