  • Are these equivalent to anything you know of?

    Wondering what the differences are between them and the 12at7 or 5751--
    I can see some initial differences... like the filament current is rated at double the 12at7...

    Any help?

    GU17

    Type
    double beam tetrode

    Cathode type
    oxide,indirect heating

    Possible substitutions (not verified,though):
    GU17=6360= RS1023 = QQE03/12 = CV2798 = RS1029
    Data here:

    Interesting tube...I have it in my collection but I never cared too much as to put it at work.Looks like a newer "kid in town" from the long list of the (bigger) GU bros but I missed the 17's original intended use.

      That is definitely nothing like the 12at7 or 5751. That looks like a power tube, not a preamp tube. I think the russian 12??7 equivalents are like 6n?p or something, there are substitution guides on the internet somewhere. The 12at7 triode sections were used in *tons* of other NOS tubes, so there are many tubes that contain for instance 1/2 6cg7 and 1/2 12at7, or 1/2 12at7 and a power pentode (6bm8). 6gn8 is like a super 12ax7 (half plate resistance, same gain) combined with a small signal pentode that could be used as a preamp or CCS. 12AZ7 is essentially the same as a 12at7, albeit with higher cathode-heater insulation.
      Cheers.
