The 2D13C double-diode is a difficult valve to find. The replacement for the 2D13C is an American 12H6 fitted on an a special adaptor base, see attachment. The 12H6 has a 12.6volt 0.15amp heater. The Mullard 2D13C has a 13volt 0.2amp heater. Resistors have been fitted inside the five pin base to compensate for the slightly lower heater ratings of the 12H6. A 2.7ohm resistor to drop 0.4volts and a 270 ohm resistor connected between the heater pins of the B5 base. The ersatz valve can be used in 0.2amp heater chains.
The Mullard Maintenance Manual suggests the EB34 as the replacement for the 2D13C.
