Kt100

[tubby]

Anybody ever seen a data sheet for the so-called KT100 (Shuguang)?
I couldn't find one on the web...

...isn't the KT100 really a "bigger" KT88/KT90 from China?

...in other words, there ISN'T any data on KT100.

Yeah "bigger", but how? Maybe the glass bulb?

Nah, I'd just be interested how they spec them (in terms of max. plate dissipation) since a KT88 is ~40W, the EH KT90 is ~50W, so the KT100 is what? 60W? It's probably just a marketing thing, though. Bigger numbers implying a sturdier tube. The KT100s have been sold for quite some time now, but so far I've not come across a spec sheet which is kind of suspicious...

I am told it is more than likely a re-labeled KT-88 or some such. I'd be wary of buying it, and using it.
