[Boatanchors] Lafayette Transceiver

[MICHAEL BITTNER]

This ancient Lafayette transceiver was gifted to me, when I wasn't looking, at a swap meet.  A case of reverse shoplifting (as explained in an old issue of QST, dumping the stuff you can't sell on the other guy's table). The size of the coils indicate it is probably for 5 meters, and it has two 2-Volt filament tubes.  One is a 4-pin #30 and it tests excellent.  The other has 5 pins and its internal structure is that of a pentode.  However, it has all markings rubbed off.  I'm reluctant to test it without knowing exactly which pentode. in this 1930's vintage series of 2-Volt tubes, it is.  Is anyone familiar with this unit who knows what tube this is?  Mike. W6MAB
