As per the 1982 Amateur Radio Handbook, ECC83 (and ECC82) are double
triodes. Type 83 is described as a half wave rectifier in the 1951
edition. None of the 12* are listed in the '51 book though similar
numbers indicate double diodes and triodes as do base descriptions
in the 1982 book but I cannot come up with more precise info.

I don't recognize the term "space charge". They were tubes explicitly
specified in the data sheet for operation with 12 volt anode voltage.
Almost certainly they were Philips -- EFnn and ECHnn for suitable
integer nn... (I did that project in Holland.)
I think nn=83 :-). I am really digging into the depths of my memory, but
I seem to remember the ECH83 (triode hexode frequency changer) and EBF83
(double diode and pentode). Maybe at least one other type too.
