Title: What kind of tube base/socket is this?
Post by: TMM on January 31, 2022, 04:32:33 am
Any tube nerds know what kind of base/socket this is? Tube is a russian TG1-1/0,8 thyratron.
It's 10-pin, looks like a larger version of octal. Pins are on a 25mm diameter circle and the key is about 16mm diameter. Perhaps some kind of socket used by CRTs?

On a CRT most likely.

It looks kind of like the 12 and 14 pin C.R.T. bases, however I am unaware of any 10 pin C.R.T. application. Trying to find a mate will be challenging.

Taken a gamble buying some of these:

ratio of key diameter to pin diameter looks wrong, but hopefully the pin diameter is correct and I can just make the key hole larger.

If (especially) it is a Thyratron, it is possible that it is listed somewhere as a relay socket.

Perhaps ask this guy for the dimensions?

something something, chicken dinner  :-+
Random 10pin ebay socket is perfect if not very very close to having the correct pin spacing. Key hole just needed to be enlarged
