Here is a modern version of the classic 12 Watt output pentode.
The control and suppressor grids are wound on copper supports and the control grid has heat radiating fins.
The hole in the anode reveals the three wire grids. The suppressor grid has a very open pitch.
The thin glass tube envelope is 21 mm in diameter, and excluding the B9A base pins is 70 mm tall.
Reference: Data-sheet. Type EL84 was first introduced in 1953. See also 1953 adverts.
