Hi guys,

Does anyone have any schematic (and pcb pinouts I guess) symbols for triode and pentode valves that they would be willing to share? PCB pinouts would be for the sockets obviously...

I'm looking for specifically: Dual Triode (ECC83 type) and Pentode (El34/84) types.

These are particularly tricky to draw so I thought why "re-invent the wheel" if this has already been done.

Anyone?

Hi!

Having been asked this exact feature by several Members of the Vintage Radio Forum, I have begun writing a step–by–step tutorial book on how to design a complete Thermionic Valve and Cathode–Ray Tube Library for DS PCB and Easy PCB!

It'll be a fairly thick document, I'm already up to page 9 and I've only got as far as "Valve Envelopes" so far!

I have done the complete component for the ECC83 if you want it please sent an email to me.

Quite honestly it would only take 10 minutes to create your own schematic symbol. Save yourself a lot of hassle !

Oh, and unzipped, it consists of a .dcm and a .lib file.

I managed to get hold of a KiCad symbol library (in Zip Format) that allegedly contains valve symbols.

Does anyone know if you can import or convert a KiCad library into EasyPc format?

If I can then it's job done! If I get it done, I have no problem posting the library here if it helps others.

Anyone done this?

Thanks!

That's a good start but I really need the Schematic symbols...

Someone must have them :)
