OK,
You folks started it.
I was hunting thru the trailer today and found a pair of the 9 pin loctals; EPF60's.

Amperex mfg. One with black lettering and one with (probably ) yellow or maybe orange lettering.
Not only that, but the pins have pretty SHARP points on the bottom. (DON"T ASK :oops: :cry: ).

They are not listed in Tube Lore, nor update # 3.

I'll email Lud & see what he can tell me on these, and post it here, unless Norm or another member has the info.
Having problems trying to post pix on this one

Your image files are obviously too large for the site. You can resize them to fit. Usually somewhere between 640x480 and 600x800 are usually the best sizes to upload depending what you have. I found this site quite useful. http://www.resizr.com/

Wow!
Thanks to Unusual Designer & Norm Leal for the photo & data sheets.
Now all I need is a couple of sockets and I'm ready to go.

You don't need a special socket. That's why they sharpened the pins. :wink:

I lucked out & got 5ea of the 9 pin loctal sockets at the Puyallup Hamfair a week ago.
The neat thing is they are ceramic & cost 1.00 each!

Talk about finding hen's teeth!! :D

Now to find a few of the other (odd for here) foreign sockets and start building an adaptor panel for my tube testers.
