ELECTRON TUBE COLLECTION

[Arabhacks]

JAN, or milspec, is common in electronic components and not just tubes.

It has since been replaced with the AN/xxx-xxx designation, it is just more of the same.

Tubes and semiconductors come in 3 grades, consumer, industrial, and of course, military.

Industrial has several sub divisions such as hospital grade and marine grade, a question of application more than quality.

Contractor grade is the same as consumer grade, just not in the fancy package.

JAN =? Joint Army Navy

@rsp196607

The JAN designation is found on many American made new old stock tubes,

and stands for "Joint Army Navy". It means they were originally built for the military,

often with improvements in their construction and quality control.

I've just gotten into tube collecting, I don't have much. Nice collection, how did you get them all?

Nice collection, but it's not complete without magnetrons, laser tubes, ceramic transmitter tubes (i.e. 4CX250B), subway train rectifiers (i.e. ignitrons), early electronic calculator/computer tubes, and x-ray tubes. :)

nice collection of tubes!! what a lot of people don't realize is tube operated electronics will be the only thing left running after an EMP blast you can throw out all the new cars too so don't get rid of those tubes might come in handy someday soon best of luck.
