CV18 / 2C34 / VT224 / RK34 double triode

Size This valve measures approx 130x46mm overall and has a 7 pin base.

Commercial prototypes are DET19, 4074A and RK34. See also VT61, VT61A. The CV specification states a ceramic base but the Raytheon RK34 does not have this. This valve was used in the output stage of the Spitfire radio.
