So these "Marshall" branded EL34's came in my Wizard Metal and they actually sound really nice so I'm trying to figure out what they are. At first I though they might be re-branded Winged "C" EL34's but I put one up next to an actual SED Winged "C" I had laying around and now I'm not so sure. They are very similar however the Marshall tube is slightly taller and the two "getters" at the top of the tube are angled upwards like the roof of a house whereas the "getters" on the SED lay flat or horizontal if you will.

Here are a couple of pics for all of you tube experts out there. What's your verdict? :thumbsup:

Yep they're SED's just slighty older ones. They changed from angled to flat getters at some point, not sure exactly when, I'm thinking early 2000's. I've got some from 98 that are angled.
 
The =C= tubes also vary in height of the glass. I have some that won't fit in my Vox AC50, cause the =C= EL34's are just a little too high. Other =C= EL34's fit fine....
