Description
Technical Specs
NOTE: People have been confusing Revision 8-9 (VR9) tubes from 1970s incorrectly to be from 1960s (e.g. VR9 RTC Label Heerlen Holland). Both 1960s and 1970s E188CC Heerlen Holland tubes had Large Halo Getter as these tubes do. Late 1960s tubes should be VR5-VR7 etc.
We have been looking for E188CC SQ from Philips Heerlen plant for a while now and got lucky with this lot. Hard to find pristine tubes like these now a days.
Brand Spanking New, MINT NOS NIB 1970 Amperex/Philips E188CC 7308
SQ - Special Quality
Gold Pin Tubes - ADZAM Label. These are more desirable than the American made Amperex 7308 tubes. Rated for 10,000 hours.
All tubes have Etched Date and Batch Code from Amperex/Philips Heerlen Holland plant: VR9 40A4
(4 = delta or left triangle for Amperex/Philips Heerlen plant).
These select Special Quality SQ Holland made E188CC/7308 are some of the finest by Amperex/Philips and one of our reference tubes other than Mullard CV4109 (NOTE: Mullard CV4109 currently out of stock for Matched Pairs. Small number of CV4109 tubes expected in the future but the price will be higher than before.)
Heerlen plant tubes were sold with different labels like Amperex, Miniwatt, Philips, Bugle Boy and also relabeled by various Philips associates or companies owned by Philips like Valvo, Mullard, La Radiotechnique RTC, Siemens, Adzam etc. American companies often sourced and relabeled tubes from the European companies. Etched date codes tells the origin of the tube.
Tested and matched on Top of the Line Calibrated
