all my tubes have 2040 printed on them, all of them have a TD71 sticker, and two say 425A5 on a sticker. On Tuesday, October 21, 2014 1:55:29 PM UTC-5, Dekatron42 wrote: > > Here is a photo of a tube marked 2040 on the glass and 425A5 on the base > http://www.radiomuseum.org/tubes/tube_2040.html

thanks, I had the Otis document, but no datasheet for these tubes. I don't believe they are 1C21, but maybe they are close enough? I think my tubes say 2040 on them. Also, that article seems to be something current (2008) whereas this elevator panel is from the 60's or 70's at the latest I think

So I found an elevator control panel in the garbage. They were replacing a broken one in the dorm next to mine. It appears to have 425A5 'touch tube' trigger tubes instead of mechanical switches. I saw an old thread here about them which had a bit of info. I think you need to connect a 150vac su
