Curious to find out more about the tube though. Edit, looked on first page, first post has everything the same except the contract number being different? Omni V, non gated. |

Broken pigtail is a easy fix. 50 bucks in parts and a 1/2 hour labor to solder the new one in. It is Omni V. Some tubes were gated and others not under Omni V. I would need the power supply number under the label to tell for sure. Your tech fixing should be able to tell pretty easy.
It is a ITT milspec tube. Your tube being made in 2001 would mean not gated. That contract ended in 2011 which leads me to believe maybe some later tubes were gated. Without digging into the contract details it is hard to know for sure. Which is why I like to know the power supply numbers because I know which power supply's were gated. |

Contract started in 2002 and ended in 2008. It should be not gated but maybe some later tubes were as it overlaps. I would check to hear if it whines when powered up. It looks like a monkey dug the pigtail out of it. Without a closer look all I can tell you. Might be okay as a 10160 tube without a repot.

I looked in the ocular and could read the following
DAAB07-02-C-J009 Mx-11769/uv CAD 0524 602XXX (I think this was the serial) This looks like an ITT Omni VI tube made in March 2005. It has manual gain. How do I know if it's autogated? It makes a light whine when turned on but that may not mean anything. What month/year did ITT start using autogated power supplies? |
