Can anybody identify these tubes? No writing anywhere on them. Just wondering if they’re anything cool. Pics one and two are one tube, three and four are the other.

Last two look like JJ ECC83S's.
Dave, what tubes do you like in your Mark IV?psychodave":2v0ka18o said:Rex Rocker":2v0ka18o said:I can't tell if the plates are just grey or silver in the first two pics, but it looks like a Sovtek WA/B/C.

First one looks Russian...the mica spacers, some of the welds, but the plate structure looks a bit different to determine what it exactly is. The glass reads 7025.
The other two are JJ.
Cool, thank you.glip22":1knvo8fh said:Chinese and JJ. Nothing special. If it was early frame grid Tesla it would have two support rods on the disc getter
I was hoping they were something much cooler. Looks like I lost too.BeZo":1iqcgr1v said:This is a fun game!
Too bad I lost.
I told you they weren’t worth 100 bucks eachBeyond Black":mg9v0xo5 said:I was hoping they were something much cooler. Looks like I lost too.BeZo":mg9v0xo5 said:This is a fun game!

Thank you! I just replaced a JJ in the PI with a Telefunken, and it made quite a difference. A tad less gain, but tighter and much more focused. Got a Tung Sol for V1 and Shuguang Foil Getters for 2,3, and 4 on the way. I’m not very expert with rolling pres, so we’ll see what happens.psychodave":74yx31ud said:Beyond Black":74yx31ud said:Dave, what tubes do you like in your Mark IV?psychodave":74yx31ud said:Rex Rocker":74yx31ud said:I can't tell if the plates are just grey or silver in the first two pics, but it looks like a Sovtek WA/B/C.

I like Chinese, but they are prone to make Boogie amps hum, so you have to tinker. I’m a very big fan of the Ei 12AX7/ECC83. Also, American tubes sound good in it... RCA and Sylvania. I know I didn’t give you much to work with...Boogie amps are temperamental.
