Westinghouse 12AX7? Please help identify

Post by wdelaney72 » Mon Aug 22, 2011 1:11 pm

Someone gave me 3 of these tubes. 2 of them say Westinghouse ECC83 / 12AX7 Holland. 1 says RCA, but they're obviously the same tube.

Are these legit or some kind of fake?

I had one RFT earlier, and have always like it. Right now, I'm using: v1=Sylvania, v2=rca, v3=rft. I also like RFT in v1 of a 2203 circuit.
