I couldn't find any info on this number in my tube book, so, I don't know what voltage the heaters run on. Suggestions?
This was a CRT that RCA brought out in the late 30's for use with CRO's & TV experaments, I remember seeing an ad for them in an old QST printed in late 1938, These crts came with either green P1 or white P4 phosphours & they were electrostatic deflection as well.
