In Reply to: Ok it's not a Type 26........What the heck is a Type 12A . posted by drummerwill on September 25, 2015 at 08:43:49:
12A are nice directly heated triodes. You can look them up - mu 8.5, Ra about 5K. Pretty much a 01A with lower Ra. except most 01A were thoriated and 12A is oxide coated as far as I know with rare exceptions. Not quite sure here which were and which weren't.
To me it doesn't sound as euphonic as a 26, but it's certainly worth using.
