Description

201A is a short name for the UX201A, which was replacing the UV201A in August 1925 (Tyne page 315).

Do not confuse with the 201A by Western Electric, which is completely different!

Variants

Larry told us: Base dia. 33 mm; ht. 34 mm; Glass itself ht. 60 mm; while pin length is 14 mm. This tube is identical to the M-201A made by Mastertone, except for the label. It was most probably made by Mastertone. The brand is listed in the latest "master list" of 201A tubes compiled by Hal Kravig in 2012.

Mit blauem Glas.
