Half-Wave Rectifier
The 17AY3 / 17AY3A Vacuum Tube is a novar type used as
a damper tube in horizontal-deflection circuits of
black-and-white television receivers. It requires a
novar 9-contact socket. Socket terminals 1, 3,
6 and 8 should not be used as tie points. It is
especially important that these tubes, like other
power-handling tubes, be adequately ventilated.
