The TU50 is an oscillator triode developed in the 1940s by Fernseh GmbH, a German television company based in Berlin. It equipped the 400 MHz transmitter final stage of the “Tonne-Seedorf” remote-control system of the German Armed Forces (Wehrmacht) in WW II. The installation consisted of a television camera in the front section of a guided bomb, which was able to produce and transmit high-resolution pictures of military targets by a powerful and efficient built-in transmitter, integrated into the bombs body. The target was real-time monitored on a screen, the bomb could be steered into the target by the 'rifleman' with a joystick-similar control lever, while he was sitting in the bomb-dropping air plane.

This tube is extremely rare, since most of them were destroyed in field trials or military action! The tube presented here bears the date 15 August 1944.
