European tubes are easy to evaluate in that respect because the letter codes
designate what's inside. I remember the EABC80 (not sure that's the correct
number), which is a diode plus double-diode plus triode. Intended application,
if I remember right, was FM detector (discriminator, double diode), AGC
detector (single diode) and audio preamp (triode).
