Hi Patrick!
You're quite right! - Pure po.. :-)
- By the way. She's 15.5 cm. tall, and some beautifull figures...
There's a little quriousity in "her". "She's" a halfwave rectifier!
( only 3 connections out of the tube )
I guess the dual system is made to keep the sice of the bottle to a
minimum...
Have a friend Who's been collecing tubes for 40 years, and he has'nt seen
one before...
Another friend has been a radioamateur for just as long, and he has'nt
either.
So...
Best regards

Hi Tonni
I had been looking before but hesitated to answer because what
I found was a halfwave rectifier.
Now that you confirm this I am 99% positive in:
What you have is a Philips, 4686
It is mentioned in part 2 of the Dutch version of the Philips book
"electronenbuizen" ( electrontubes ) in a table on page 304
as a Rectifiertube for "amplifier installations"
Kathode 4V - 1,3A
Vmax 1000V Imax 75mA
Size ( without pins ) 145 x 60mm
Pinout is not hard to find out
Unfortunately this is all I could find.
But the support inside the tube that is visible on your picture
is also found in other Philips tubes of the same age and model.
