The Mullard ECC81 was designed for RF use and is of medium impedance.
It was used as a frequency changer in five station television sets. In this application the oscillator triode would be the first to cease working.
The ECC81 also makes an excellent phase splitter in modern audio applications.
This exhibit looks to be new and carries the later Mullard logo that appeared during 1970.
The twin triode sections have no central electrostatic screen as would be seen in RF valves.
The one piece pressed anode has holes in the folded end and is stitched together forming a rectangular box cavity.
The thin glass tube envelope is 20 mm in diameter and excluding B9A base pins the length is 48 mm.
