576A Valve
Does this Rectifier & Clipper Diode have a use in vintage equipment ? Its been suggested to me that it came from some US Navy Radar Equipment.

Re: 576A Valve
The filament takes 90W so it would make a reasonable light bulb

Re: 576A Valve
It is rated at 25kV at up to half-an-Amp, so it can handle the sort of powers that some radar required.
