Description

The Arcturus metal/glass type 78 tube was unusual in that it employed a glass disc instead of the conventional "pinch" for introduction of the lead-in wires into the glass bulb. The disc has the wires in a circular formation. The base is octal but an adaptor was sold with the tube to enable it to fit the normal U6A 6-pin tube socket. The adaptor measures 37 mm long, including pins, and is 30 mm diameter.
