Mazda Branded ECC83/!2ax7 ??

Post by Myopic Void » Sun Oct 23, 2005 3:21 pm

I have a "Mazda" Branded ECC83/12ax7 tube that has "BVE" written on it and "made in England" as well. Any idea who really made this tube??

Thanks for any help in advance..

Best,

Eric

I am sorry it says BVA. Does that tie it to a Mullard production??

There's a really good chance that the BVA marking makes it a Mullard. But I can't say it's absolute. Brimars may have that marking too.
