Valve Data

World IconTDSL
Duncan Munro's TDSL (Tube Data Sheet Locator) is by far the best source of valve data on the internet. This search engine provides direct links to valve data on many of the other sites listed here. Also take a look at Duncan's site which has a lot of other interesting stuff.

A huge collection of valve data sheets. Much referenced by TDSL
World Icon Franz Hamberger's Tubes and Valves Online Database
Lots of short data on valves. Good references to manufacturers.
