Gammatron tube 829B

[6a6ar09a]

I got today some vacuum tubes, Gammatron dual beam power tetrode, Heintz and Kaufman 829B. I don't know almost anything about them and quick search gave me some interesting documents, for example;
http://books.google.com/books?id=VRz9LfC85pYC&pg=PA24&lpg=PA24&dq=%22Heintz+and+Kaufman%22&source=bl&ots=2AwR8tU9dD&sig=hU2AeK4WNwk2B5RkXzvdvNm741c&hl=en&ei=cXh_TOn7JYfGswbc_YTlDw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=2&ved=0CBoQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=%22Heintz%20and%20Kaufman%22&f=false
... and some other... but I can not find specification for this tubes.

I have found specifications for RCA 829B but I am not sure if they are exactly the same?

Does anyone collect this tubes and, does anyone know where I should look for datasheet?

BTW. Company was closed 1953.

Thanks in advance.

Dont start collecting tubes. All the good stuff really is gone and what is left is a lot of shit. They also take up way too much space, easy to break and some contain some nasty shit you really dont want on your wank hand.

Hello,
very nice collection.
Vintage X-ray tubes are quite impressive.
A friend of mine, who worked for years in the Hospital of my town (Udine) as a gastro-enterologist, has a nice and large collection of these tubes (more than 40). A very specialized collection.
