Double Diode-Pentode
The EBF83 / 6DR8 Vacuum tube is a low-voltage tube for 6 and 12V car batteries, for the anode
voltage, just before the transistor era began. For cars, a few hybrid radios (with tubes and
transistors) were created with such low-voltage tubes as the EF97, EF98, ECC86, ECH83 and the
EBF83. One example is the Philips Paladin car radio manufactured from 1958 to 1960.
