Tube cross-reference
W17 alternatives, equivalents, and replacements
Review exact electrical variations and directional substitutions recorded for the W17 voltage pentode - remote cutoff (single). Compare core specifications and verify every restriction before using a replacement.
Replacement tubes for W17
The following tubes are recorded as possible replacements for W17. This direction does not establish that W17 can replace them.
Voltage Pentode or Tetrode (under 100V)
The database records 1T4 as a possible replacement forW17.
No special restrictions are recorded for this substitution.

| Construction | Pentode | Pentode |
| Base | Not recorded | 8AR |
| Socket | B7G | B7G |
| Base pins | 7 | 7 |
| Sections | 1 | 1 |
| Heater voltage | 1.4 V | 1.4 V |
| Heater current | 0.05 A | 0.05 A |
Where W17 can be used as the replacement
In these recorded relationships, W17 is the replacement tube. The listed original tubes are not automatically suitable as replacements for W17.
Voltage Pentode or Tetrode (under 100V)
The database records W17 as a possible replacement for1T4.
No special restrictions are recorded for this substitution.
| Specification | W17 replacement | Original tube |
|---|---|---|
| Tube type | Voltage Pentode - Remote Cutoff (single) | Voltage Pentode or Tetrode (under 100V) |
| Construction | Pentode | Pentode |
| Base | Not recorded | 8AR |
| Socket | B7G | B7G |
| Base pins | 7 | 7 |
| Sections | 1 | 1 |
| Heater voltage | 1.4 V | 1.4 V |
| Heater current | 0.05 A | 0.05 A |
Verify before substituting
Matching a base or heater voltage is not enough to prove that two tubes are interchangeable. Check pin connections, heater current, maximum ratings, bias requirements, warm-up behavior, and the equipment manufacturer’s service documentation before making a substitution.
