Are these tube style adapters

These go from 11 pin tube socket to 7 and 9 pin
Thanks

I can't recall any 11 pin tubes. Based on the component count those are probably modules. In the tube computer era they would make an op amp module that had sockets for 2 tubes and another tube style connector for connection of the amp module into the main chassis.

The bottom octal style base with pins is probably for connecting those modules to chassis.

Tube style connectors were used for more than just tubes. Many wire harnesses in consumer equipment used tube bases/sockets as a cheaper alternative to molex connectors. Relays and numerical display devices also used tube sockets/bases at their connectors.

So attached is what I drew..looks like a single amp.
What I reference c1 looks like a resistor may be just open.cap checker did give 1nf. anyway color code on
It white red black brown silver on a brown body..
I assume if values of c1. C2 are correct its a high freq amp.
I agree with the 11pin being just a connector.
I do appreciate the reply.
Most of these modules are 7 pin others 9 pin tube sockets on top all 11 pin on bottom.

About the only tubes that used the 11 pin base were photomultipliers like the 931A type used in the B&K TV analysts. They were pretty common on industrial relays, allowing 3 SPDT contact sets, and 2 pins for the coil.

The 11 Pin plug/socket were also pretty commonly used for connecting external power supply units to vintage ham transceivers. Like the HP-23 supplies used with the Heathkit SB-line.

I appreciate all replies..if these were marked the tube number
It would help greatly. Maybe something military or comercial
That needed y he tube and associated parts replaced quickly reducing down time

11 pin photomultipliers are still very very common. I've used tons of them.
The big manufacturer is Hamamatsu. Some are not cheap. For some scientific applications NOS old old RCA 1P28s are perfectly fine. In some ways these side-on
ones are STILL better than the more modern front-on ones.
