Hi

be careful when u are looking for el34 NOS tubes. U may find offers that seem too good to be real if you know a bit about tubes.

For Example:


EL34 SIEMENS MATCHED QUAD NOS
NEW AND UNUSED
ORIGINALLY DISTRIBUTED BY SIEMENS GERMANY
ORIGINAL BOXED
EARLY PRODUCTION
ORIGIN OF THESE TUBES IS NOT KNOWN THEREFORE PRICE IS VERY VERY REASONABLE
WE HAVE SOLD HUNDREDS OF THESE TUBES NOW AND CUSTOMERS ARE VERY PLEASED WITH THEIR PERFORMANCE
TOP QUALITY ORIGINAL EL34
OUR STOCKS OF THIS TYPE ARE GETTING LOW, PLEASE BUY NOW TO AVOID DISSAPOINTMENT.
IF ORDERING IN QUANTITY PLEASE EMAIL FOR SHIPPING QUOTE. THANKYOU


This is the description of UK auction 310309367729 of seller yitry

Matched Quad. There must be hundreds to match them. There are not NOS amounts like this... :) those tubes are never distributed by Siemens, Siemens stopped production in the 70s, later can only appear RFT tubes with Siemens brand. The offered are NOT RFT made El34. Early production? Early productioon would mean SH (Siemens-Halske-)Logo. Wrong logo used for this while designing the fake stamp.
Origin not known. I know. Those ar todays production JJ Tubes. Easy to recognise. The price is not reasonable for JJ, they make at least 80$ per quad extra money :) Top quality... ok, you know JJs. Stocks getting low? men, work a weekend, print boxes and stamp JJs... then u can go on.
Watch out!

US-seller shay12320092010 sells same stuff, different description, not in amounts like the UK seller. Auction 230903517015
