Unfortunately a very bad photo, but at least the 3-th seems to be a Tungsram, but NOT made in Germany - made in Hungary.

the amperex also has a small metal square tag inside the tube with the number 23 on it.

Amperex never has been a tube manufacturer!rockstah wrote:well now im confused.. amperex are tungsram tubes.. hmmm
That's been a Philips/Holland idea, to label tubes and sell them overseas,
the same Philips/Holland idea is hidden behind Bugle Boy.
Later, as the well known tube manufacturers have stopped their own tube
production, they've sold their well known name to other manufacturers, which have payed a couple cents for each sold tube.
So you can find RFT's labelled as "Telefunken",
or yugoslavian EI's labelled as "Siemens", aso.
What do you think is the reason, that Mike Matthews can label russian
made tubes now as "Mullard" or TungSol"? Bingo

I can't say anything else with that bad photos, except that the labelling doesn't help much to identify a tube.rockstah wrote:Larry,
do you know anything about the other two tubes?

Larry, is this an Tunsgram based on what you're saying? I just paid $14 bucks on ebay the other day, and I couldnt pass up an Amperex labeled made in W. Germany tube at that price. It tested above new value.
It's got little square tag on the halo getter support with 12 stamped on it.
I also noticed the plates are rotated in orientation relative to a mullard I compared it to. Found that interesting.
Thanks for any info, and I'm not trying to highjack your threat RS, but this is interesting stuff.

Yes, that's a Tungsram!
When a tube has a tag inside with a number on it, then it's a Tungsram.
However not all Tungsrams have this tag inside.
Another indicator for a Tungsram is the Ring, welded on two bended posts, which is going through the upper mica.
With exception of some of the very early ones Tungsrams don't have a seam on top of the glass envelope.
