[Amps] plate collet???

[Paul Decker]

It is also known as an anode collet.  Basically it's a ring of finger stock which makes contact on the tubes plate.  Collets are also used in the metal/ceramic power tubes on the grid ring.  You would also see them in wide use with the coaxial tubes to make contact rather than the pin sockets. 



It might look something like item (TUA) 149584   http://www.surplussales.com/Tube-Sockets/TubeSkts-4.html 



But I haven't seen an actual picture or catalog entry for the one I'm looking for.
