This exhibit is the Mullard ECC82. Designed as audio triodes, two independent valves exist in the envelope. A special quality version was also produced, the E88CC, and for differential amplifiers in industrial equipment the anti-microphonic and matched pair version E182CC was also made.

An amplification factor of 17 is quoted, which is much lower than that for the pin compatible ECC83 at 100.

We were surprised at the very low CV number, suggesting availability at the start of WW2 even though the B9A base is post war in the UK.

Another ECC82 in the collection shows a different style of lettering in this long lived device.

The thin glass tube envelope is 20 mm in diameter and the length excluding the B9A base pins, is 48 mm.
