The 505 is 1/2 wave rectifier tube first made in 1927

Identical to RGN1304 = V1_Visseaux = V495 = G495 = DU4 = G450 = GT138 = R4B = RRR145

Similar Tubes Normally replaceable-slightly different:
EG410; EG4100; G140; G530; R0446;

The KC507 is a NPN silicon planar transistor. So it isn't a tube.

In 508 BCE, Rome was attacked by Lars Porsena (the King of the Etruscan city of Clusium). Possibly. It may be at least partly mythical.

The JJ EL509-S tube is an unique version of the original EL509/EL519 tube. The JJ version does not have a top plate-cap and has a 8-pin octal base. The BEAST OTL amplifier made by Transendant Sound uses 16 of these JJ EL509 tubes.

The JJ EL509S can handle 700V and 42W plate dissipation. (yeah right!)

Psst ... Arneb, check the previous posts. You were on 514. I guess posting after 30 straight hours in ER will do that.

As a mod, :glp-worship: you can no doubt change your post and delete this one. I won't tell, pal. :wink: :lol:

Awww, shucks. I hadn't read the Games forum in ages, and I missed everything on the last page. So...you should ike these ones :twisted: :

Area code 514 is a telephone area code that covers all of Montreal Island, Île Perrot, and Île Bizard in the province of Quebec

Southeast of Québec City, the Massif du Sud is renowned for its natural snow and its glades. Although it is the highest ski mountain in the Quebec City region, it doesn't boast the biggest vertical because of its base already at 515 meters.

In other news, Le Zoo de Granby, one of Québec's major tourist attractions, welcoms 516,000 visitors a year.

Better now?

Well, the Government of the Province of Quebec demands that you post all of that in French. :evil: You can settle that with them. :roll:
