Summary: I looked in my 1973 RCA Tube Manual


My 1973 edition of the RCA Receiving Tube Manual has some tank
circuit pictured on page 53!  No eye tube in sight (pun).  It does,
however, provide some minimal information on the 1629 and a little
more information on the 6E5.  Apparently, the 1629 is a
military/industrial tube.

The 1629 speces:

Tube outline diagram  13H
Tube terminal diagram 7AL
Heater voltage 12.6
Heater current 0.15 A
pin 1  NC
pin 2  H       (one end of the heater)
pin 3  PT/RCJ  (apparently this means ray control grid)
pin 4  TA      (fluorescent target)
pin 5  GT      (not sure what this is, some extra gird??)
pin 6  --      (they left this blank)
pin 7  H       (other end of heater)
pin 8  K       (cathode)

I'd imagine the voltages necessary are similar to the 6E5.  The
book makes no mention of what to use.  Hope this helps
