The PP4 audio output pentode is directly heated and designed for mains based receivers, it is also essentially identical to the Mullard PM24M and of similar vintage.These valves were marketed as pentode versions of the PX4 (and equivalents) and were designed for AC filament heating. The 4.0 Volt heater was the standard in the late 1930s. The anode load impedance for the rated output has to be 7,500 Ohms.
