CV1052 - EL32

Post by CraigGa »

I've got hold of a bunch of NOS CV1052s otherwise known as EL32s
They appear to be from 1969 and from Mullard Blackburn UK

Are they any use? what could I build with them?

Thanks
Craig
Thinking about my second build.

Audio output tube, kinda like a low-power pentode 6V6, actually pretty close to a 6K6.

Not too far off from a 6AQ5, but man that low .200 amp of heater current need is hard to come by!

Thanks for the replies,
I'll give it some thought, I hadn't even noticed the top connection until now, that might complicate matters.

Interesting grid connection. Those leads would be screaming for pasties! :lol:
Just plug it in, man.
