• You need to solder the components to the board with this listing, full instructions included.

  • The kit includes everything in the photo, including the vintage CV4504 diode tube valve. This is a single diode similar to half of 6AL5

  • You can use this in conjunction with the crystal radio experimental board, connect the diode section instead of the germanium diode. 

  • The board requires 6V DC heater volts of 150mA. Alternatively you can use a 5v USB power supply , either remove the USB connector or use a small USB socket. 

  • There are two common legs for the anode, we connect to any one marked d

  • This is a safe way to start experimenting with tube valves. 

  • Please email if you require further information.
