Valve collection

The pictures in these pages are of valves in my collection. If anyone can identify any of them or correct what I have written I would be most grateful, especially those in the unknown page! Also if there are any other collectors out there, get in touch!

Additions and updates during 2001 and earlier

Modifications and updates (latest first)

31/12/01	Added NU5 to Rectifiers
26/12/01	Added 217283 Tungar Bulb to Rectifiers, and A4100 to German
25/12/01	Added GXU4 to Rectifiers
24/12/01	The 'list of valves' is now run from a script, allowing selection as opposed to just a full list. Also, all the Russian valve pages have been renamed to A-Z translations rather than the 'sounds' which were used before. This means they can be indexed 'correctly' rather than mostly appearing at the end of the list.
