Technical data about tube JAN-6587 and WE701A - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Hello Dears Ladies and Gentlemen,

I'm looking about technical data sheet about these 2 references of tube.

I have in stock these tube => WE701A and JAN-6587.

I found some people making audio power amplifier with these.

One guy in France => Rinaldo Bassi made a very good amplifier with tube CV57.

The CV57 is normally use for RADAR during WWII.

If someone need, I have the complet data of this amplifier.

Actually, I want to make some tests with these tube but without any data, I don't want to make a big barbecu

.

I hope my English is not too bad and also that I post this question in the right place.

Have a nice night.

The WE701A might make a possible audio valve- some general info here:

but the 6587 appears to be a Thyratron which while interesting, is not any sort of audio valve!

Both do seem to have been used as pulse modulators in their original incarnations.

"Components and Circuits" may be a better place for this thread.......
