The QV05-25 from Mullard is another example of the design known as the 807. The QV05-25 is a beam tetrode.
The parameters given are for single ended use. When used in a class AB1 as a push pull pair with 600 Volts on the anode an output power of 65 Watts was normal.
The QV05-25 was an HF RF amplifier and used in many designs in the 1950s. As a transmitter power amplifier (shown in the lower table) operating in class C producing 40 Watts of RF, it would need a pair of 807s in push pull to generate the 20 Watts of audio required to fully modulate the valve.
The anode looking across the electrodes. The fixings are insulated with ceramic elements and the extra heat sinking attaches to the centre of the anode where most of the heat is generated.
The face view of the anode the lower screen, under the bottom mica, is box shaped rather than the characteristic oval of the 807.
The classic envelope has a maximum diameter of 50 mm and a length, excluding the UX5 base pins, to the tip of the top cap of 128 mm.
