About This Listing: This is a listing for a new old stock Western Electric Type 5780 magnetron vacuum tube. These radar tubes were used by the United States military during the Cold War era. The specifications for the tube are: 8,500-9,600 MHz tunable, 250 kW peak power, pulsed operations and it's air cooled. The dimensions are 9.5"x4.5"x7.5". This unit was produced according to the military performance specification sheet, MIL-PRF-1/851H, which I include as part of this listing (the diagram of the 5780 above is from this document). The part number/type is 5780 (JAN), the Order Part Number is 7645007, and the serial number is 07637. Another number on the unit is 6106, which is the date code. This means the 5780 would have been made June of 1961 (at Western Electric's Laureldale plant in Pennsylvania). I am also including my display base (12"x6" hardwood) with this listing. Please review the pictures for the condition of the tube. I am unable to test this beast so buy accordingly. This tube makes a great display piece!To Learn More: Click here to learn more about computer chip collecting at www.AntiqueTech.com.  Click here to learn more about computer chip art and see my ChipScapesTM Store on eBay.
