Amalgamated Wireless Radiotron 1M5-G directly heated super-control remote-cutoff RF amplifier pentode, 2.0 V DC filament, 120 mA. Printed manufacturer design limits anode 180 V, screen 90 V, screen-supply 180 V, anode dissipation 0.5 W, screen dissipation 0.1 W. Typical at plate 135 V, screen 67.5 V, grid 0 V: anode current ~2.5 mA, screen current 0.9 mA, transconductance 1000 µmhos (0.001 S), plate resistance 0.8 MΩ. Other typical 135 V operating points use screen 30/45/90 V, gm 600/780/700 µmhos; values vary with bias. Published capacitances: grid-plate 0.010 pF, input 6 pF, output 9.5 pF. Manufacturer original confirms 2 V 0.12 A despite prior database 1.4 V 0.05 A.
