Jmodified Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Just purchased a Truetone ecl82 integrated tube amplifier from ebay. Tried to research it and cannot find anything except it was sold by Western Auto Supply Co. Really has nothing to do with Klipsch except i purchased it to power my KLF-20'S. Just thought i would give this a shot, lots of tube lovere here. Any information would be appreciated! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tube fanatic Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Yes, they were a popular maker of radios back in the 40s and 50s, but marketed under that name through the 70s if memory serves. The ECL82 is the same as a 6BM8 which combines a triode voltage amplifier with a pentode power amplifier in the same bulb. It's a nice sounding tube which should be good for maybe 2-3 watts output. If you have an actual model # for the amp, I can look at the schematic this afternoon and provide you with more technical information if you need it. Definitely worth having restored!
