I looked into a 12BH7 data sheet: it says Plate dissipation 3.5Watts maximum rating.
Working conditions, from the UA175 schematics:
Cathode Voltage 11V. Shared cathode resistor 330R for both halves of the 12BH7. Current thru each triode: 1/2 * 11V / 330R = 16.7mA
Anode voltage: 295V. Power dissipated in each triode:
(295V - 11V) * 16.7mA = 4.7 Watt.
What's wrong?
