My say 7316/ECC186 on the tubes and on the original boxes
Anyone have tube data for the 7316? Apparently higher than 12au7, so make sure it's under the 415ma limit for the mj2/lyr 2.
I can't find any tube data to clarify. I'll keep looking.
Probably because their original intended use mean they were pin and voltage compatible. Duncan's lists them as different rating.My say 7316/ECC186 on the tubes and on the original boxes
Yeah, that doesn't mean anything. He lists a lot of tube variants on the 12at7, 12ax7, and 12au7 pages - some of them are 450ma, and some are 600ma. Just having the same pinout doesn't mean they're compatible with amps that have a heater current limit like the mj2 and Lyr 2.
I’ll look for some data as well, I know that Brent Jessee audiotubes.com lists them in the 12au7 page http://www.audiotubes.com/12au7.htm
ECC186 isn't the same spec. Listed as electrically different. They have 300ma.
I can check when I get them. Isn't it kind of difficult to hook up in series to pin 9?Probably because their original intended use mean they were pin and voltage compatible. Duncan's lists them as different rating.

If anyone has a pair and a multimeter, can you check the heater current draw?

I made a chart a while back for the 12at7 variants. I'll dig it up now.
Here's that chart I had started making. Didn't get as far as the 12au7 variants.
12at7 - 300ma
12au7 - 300ma
12ax7/ecc83 - 300ma
6201 - 300ma
7062/e180cc - 400ma
7025 - 300ma
7728 - 300ma
7729 - 300ma
6681 - 300ma
5751 - 350ma
6211- 300ma
6679 - 300ma
NO:
12az7 - 450ma
12ad7 - 450ma
6965 - 450ma
6414 - 450ma
6829 - 450ma
E80CC - 600ma
When I get them I'll bend the pin on an extra socket saver and check. I can't think of a better way to measure.Here's that chart I had started making. Didn't get as far as the 12au7 variants.

Awesome! You saved the day.Straight from the horse's mouth (scroll to bottom). Interesting that only 6.3v is listed (and not 12.6 as well).

The plate current, plate voltage, and amplification factor are different:
