I always thought the ELL80 was a neat tube. IIRC, the US number is 6KU8???
I'm lucky, I have one new one to my name. They're rather pricey!

The web says 6HU8....

So it is a single tube P-P penthode output stage?

Gary at the VM Enthusiasts site looked up the VM Changer part number in his build literature. Shows that this changer was used by Symphonic during a period that they made consoles for other brands. So changes are the chassis is a Symphonic.

I went by memory, regarding the US designation. It's actually a dual EF95, which was a common output tube in the smaller German table radios. It was about the size of a 6AU6 or similar tube.
Admiral used a similar tube, in some of their sets, a 6GZ5, or in their series string B/W portables, a 4GZ5. The tube appeared to be a Tung-Sol sourced tube. Don't know the relationship.
