Hi Mario, Well, in England Cossor had a post-war range of International Octal-based valves of which the type numbers were preceded by the letters "OM-" such as the OM10 (=ECH35) and there were others too - if I recall correctly there was the OM6 (=EF39) and the OM4 (=EBC33). I have a model 464 from 1946 which uses these valves. Whether or not there was an OM5 "Magic Eye" I am not aware, but I think it would be worth checking on. As Cossor's radio interests were later taken over by Philips it might explain the labelling of a Philips valve with a Cossor type number. I will see if I can find more out. Regards, Mike. |

Best regards, Hans-Thomas Addition: There is also a OM5 from Cossor. It is a equivalent to EF36. |

Mario, Mike, I have entered the tube and also the 12 volt version the PM5. The Cossor PM series are already entered in the Museum. Mario, please upload your photograph - it does not seem to have been widely used as we have no radios or equipment using it listed. Please tell us if you know the radio that had it. Thank you. Regards, Roy P.S. There are also OM5 and PM5 by Telefunken with apparently identical characteristics. |

Dear Mario I see in your porfile that you have brought in some other models and that you show also a nice collection. Therefore I'm sure that you will upload also this ;-) Maybe you know even more models from Argentina? |

7 Since there are two different types of tubes with designation OM5 - a pentode and this one - the photo is on OM5_MagicEye - and I just made a remark on OM5 in case somebody looks for the Magic Eye. |
