The ELL80, that dates from the 1960s, is a double output pentode. It was designed as a push pull audio output stage in a single envelope. The two valves have a metal screen between them and a common cathode and suppressor grid. The total dissipation is given as 2 x 6 W. and the output is given as 3 W. the cathode resistor is given as 160 Ohms
The thin glass tube envelope is 20 mm in diameter and, excluding the B9A base pins, is 69 mm tall.
