6GV8 Audio Amplifier

Philips in Australia gave audio ratings to the 6GV8 as shown in this article from the Miniwatt Digest, March 1963.

It was used for audio in the Pye T23 TV and a Kriesler mantel radio.

For those unfamiliar with valve types, the pentode portion of the 6GV8 was specifically developed for field output.

Europeans know it as ECL85, or the series heater version, PCL85. A slightly more rugged version appeared later; ECL805 and PCL805.

Note a drawing mistake in the circuit; the pentode grid should be connected to the 1M.
