(NOT Current production JJ or Teslovak)
NOTE: Tubes with imperfect getter flashing from the same lot of item 699A.
We often find a few tubes like these in any brand new 100 pc lot. It is
mostly a cosmetic defect. These 3 tubes are a tight match and test just as rest of the new tubes with test scores of 13250-13250, 13750-13250 and 13250-13500 mmhos and work fine.MINT NOS Mid 1970s Original Tesla E88CC 6922 Gold Pin Tubes with Shiny Risers and 32 Factory Code for Tesla Rožnov n.p. Závod Vrchlabí in former Czechoslovakia (now Czech Republic). Packaged in generic white boxes from bulk box.
- This lot of factory sealed 3 x 100 pcs bulk boxes have the same date containing some tubes with gray risers and some with chrome risers next to the plates. That is why we are separating the two types into items 699 and 699A. Tubes sound and perform exactly the same. Seems that the construction style was in transition during these production dates.
- Even within the same box of tubes, there is a small variation in the bottle and this is normal.
- CLICK LARGER PHOTO FOR DETAILS. Pairs will be matched closely with the bottle style.
Tesla E88CC tubes were copies of the 1960s Siemens tubes with Splatter Shield. Fine tubes and better than any current production or Russian tubes. Tesla E88CC tubes were relabeled and sold by Siemens, Valvo, Telefunken etc. during 1980s when the original Western European tubes were no longer available.
