mystery photomultiplier



Hello all.

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?
