notes: label: Description (Brief)
content: Plastic 5-pin base with top contact, T-shaped envelope. Donor’s card reads: “Beam power tube made by the General Electric Company. Designed primarily for use as a Class AB-a audio frequency amplifier. The high power sensitivity of the GL-828 allows it to be used in radio frequency service with very little driving power. Neutralization is generally unnecessary in properly shielded curcuits. Filament type: 10 volts at 3.25 amperes. For Class AB-1 operation: 1700 volts on the plate; 120 volts negative control grid bias, 750 volts on the screen, for an output of 80 watts.”
