gaztech46	Posted - 28 Sep 2021 : 09:53:37 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?

Chris55000	Posted - 01 Feb 2023 : 21:26:23 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! Chris Williams

Iain Wilkie	Posted - 28 Sep 2021 : 12:44:06 I have done the complete component for the ECC83 if you want it please sent an email to me. iain@wilkie-electronics.co.uk Cheers Iain
Iain Wilkie	Posted - 28 Sep 2021 : 12:11:34 Quite honestly it would only take 10 minutes to create your own schematic symbol. Save yourself a lot of hassle ! Iain
gaztech46	Posted - 28 Sep 2021 : 12:10:21 Oh, and unzipped, it consists of a .dcm and a .lib file.
gaztech46	Posted - 28 Sep 2021 : 12:07:32 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?
gaztech46	Posted - 28 Sep 2021 : 10:38:34 Thanks! That's a good start but I really need the Schematic symbols... Someone must have them :)
