Description	The EL3 of the red series is a 6.3 volts- version of the AL3, inclusively the round cathode, though with a straight tubular bulb with a narrowed upper section. As with AL3/AL4 before, after some months the EL3 was replaced with the directly replaceable EL3N, with the more efficient profile-cathode, reduced heater current and the usual dome bulb [Jacob Roschÿ, 13 Feb 2003] Text in other languages (may differ)
