These tubes I got aren't el 34s and 12ax7's.

These are 4 pin tubes . (some have a couple more)
They are shaped more like lightbulbs and get larger in areas then get skinnier.
Much more interesting looking than modern tubes.

I am hoping that one of you will know where I can possibly get tube data charts for these tubes. Or maybe you just know where these tubes were used.
Any information on them AT ALL would be greatley appreciated. I received these from a friends mother. They belonged to here father and I would like to build something for her from them as a momento.

35A
224 A
58
7B6
235
6F6 G
6L6
8C

And thats just some of them.
Thanks for your time,
Rudy

Good sites.

Be aware that the 224A may need to be entered as 24A.

cool stuff

I've managed to find a few of the tubes on those sites(Thanx by the way!)

The 24a has an incredible amp factor of over 600!!

The 6l6 is a sweet beam power amp. So it has great potential. Up to 60 watts with only 2 tubes. Probably more pure class B with positive grid driveing.

The other tubes are sharp cut off pentodes and I really don't know where/why these are useful.

Thanks for the quick responses
