The EF50 was the ubiquitous red valve for a decade. Designed in 1938 by Philips of Eindhoven for Band I television receiver use and first released in 1939, this amplifier pentode was a general workhorse. It was extensively used in radio and radar during WWII. One additional reason that so many existed was that they had a short life and so were changed often.
I first encountered this delightful valve in an old television receiver. The chassis had a row of five or six of them on either side of the picture tube. From RF through video to audio they were of service.
They are an early all glass design as can be seen from the short pins and the metal base with centre spigot. The pins are equi-spaced around the circumference of the pin circle.
Unlike the American metal valves, these have a glass envelope with a thin aluminium outer screening can.
The wide glass tube envelope is 32mm in diameter and, excluding the B9G base pins, is 60mm tall.
