We have what appears to be an old but good condition photomultiplier
tube. (Actually, two of them.) They are marked as being Amperex brand,
model XP1040. They are quite large: The front lens is about 12cm in
diameter.
The problem: we don't have the base or plug which would fit on the large
20-pin connector, nor do we have info about how the pins are connected.
As far as I can figure out, Amperex Corp. has long since bit the dust.
Would anyone have any idea on how to get info that would allow us to
make these things function?
