Default Can anyone identify these valves?

I have several valves which are devoid of all markings. Can anyone identify them for me please?

Here's the first one.

IDENTIFIED AS A 6P28.

Second one looks like an 807 [or similar-though-different-heater-voltage variant] - I'll give you a fiver for it assuming the heater's got continuity!

First one is really rather around-WWII-era TV sweep-tube-ish. EL / PL-thirtysomething??

I was tempted but no doubt wrong to say 807 on the second.The first look like tv line o/put and sure somewhere I have similar.

Looks a pretty good match, but the pins on mine are in a different position relative to the electrodes, and the lower electrodes, whatever they are, are race track shaped rather than flat plates.

Could be a manufacturing change.

Now that you've pointed me in the right direction I reckon it's a VT60A. Thanks.

I have a few 807 variants, including the one in the present thread to sell in aid of charity if you're interested. I'll dig them out and test them.

Thanks Bill, but I checked my valves against the pictures, of the types you mention, at the valve museum and neither is a good match.

As you say the 1625 has 7 pins, but my valve only has 5.
