Home Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

Where was the type 50 all these years?

For 25 years of my experience, the SET aficionados doted first on the 300B, then on the 2A3 and type 45. For more power there were other choices, but only recently have I ever heard of the type 50 used as an output in an SET. I've heard a pair of such amplifiers, and they really are excellent sounding. But why was that tube seemingly overlooked for so long? Rarity?
Thanks.
