G´day
ECL 82 is a nice little tube with one input triode and one output pentode in the same "bulb". Maximum plate dissipation for the pentode is about 7 watts if i remember correctly.
Nice tube to build simple amps with, as one tube (per channel)contains "everything" needed for a single ended amp. Puts out somewhere around 3 watts in SE pentode mode.
My first tubeamp employed two PCL 82´s (same thing but different filament voltage) with the pentodes wired as triodes.
Quite sweet little bugger...

APPLICATION NOTES
Hi,
I came across it accidentally so why not:
ECL82/6BM8
Good news for you is that this valve is still in production and relatively cheap.
Cheers,
P.S.:

Re: APPLICATION NOTES
The 6BM8 is a nice little tube -- it has quite a following, particularily in Japan. I am using an SEP 6BM8 in the lab (Calrad) and it does a not bad job of driving my little alnico BK101 hons (90 dB). I also have a couple more that came out of Roberts R-R tape decks. One of these days i'll go over one of them properly and see what i can squeeeze out of them sound-wise.

Hi,

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

I don't really recommend that. You really want the isolation from the wall IC. I'm taking 50EH5 and 50C5 amps that rectified the wall, and adding HV trafos (althou since i can keep it isolated i will run heaters off the wall). My 5-buck amp is one of these. It is pretty small.

I have just built one for fun using the Single ended mullard circuit and a 5V4 as rectifier. It sounds pretty good, but definitely could do with a bit more grunt. Also the tubes get really hot, I am at about 8 or 9 watts dissipation tho.
Nice looking amp BTW, is it SE or Push-Pull?
In Push-Pull you could get a clean 10W or so from a pair.
The Japanese seem to love them, I guess its the whole miniturisation factor, they can be built on a very small chassis.

50EH5 stereo single ended pentode good for about 1.4 W. Follow the 5-Buck Amp link for the schematics and the story.
This is a single pentode spud amp.

UCL82 - The TV audio amplifier!
You might be amused by my use of an ECL82 single ended amp and 4" full range speaker as a 'typical TV audio' setup to illustrate what TV Sound should be like.
AT work I have a continue battle with people over how TV sound ,and radio too, is being reduced to very poor quality by digital compression systems. Most people say it doesn't matter 'cos the TV reproduction is so poor you can't hear the difference so I wheel out my 'typical' early sixties TV audio setup and embarrass the hell out of them.... It's not failed yet.
They do check with other technical sources and most spot that I have used an ECL82 instead of a UCL82 but they can't argue that it's an accurate characterisation...
What price progress....
