In 1969 Mullard describe the EF183 as: a frame-grid variable-mu RF pentode for use as an automatic gain controlled IF amplifier in television receivers. The heater is suitable for series or parallel operation by AC or DC.
The valve performance figures are given at 40 MHz and the normal TV IF frequency was around 33 MHz
