7R7 Vacuum Tube New and Used

- Description
- Specifications
The 7R7 is a duo-diode high-mu triode vacuum tube designed for AM detection, automatic volume control (AVC), and audio voltage amplification in radio receivers. Featuring a 6.3V filament rating with a 150mA current draw, it utilizes an 8-pin lock-in (loctal) base in a glass envelope construction. Manufactured by companies including Sylvania, Philco, RCA, and GE, this tube was used in mid-century superheterodyne receiver chassis requiring a combination detector and high-gain audio preamplifier stage.
