- Description
- Specifications
The 14F8 is an 8-pin lock-in base (Loktal) high-frequency twin-triode tube designed for mixer, oscillator, and voltage amplifier applications in radio receivers. It features two independent triode units with a common indirectly heated cathode operating on a 12.6V / 14.0V heater supply. Sylvania, RCA, GE, and Philco manufactured the 14F8 to RETMA specifications using T-9 glass envelopes. It is functionally identical to the 7F8, differing only in its heater voltage rating.
