Sorta OT: ECC83's

**Old Guy** · March 27th, 2008, 04:41 AM

Pulled out a hoard I almost forgot about. Older 12AX7A/ECC83 tubes. I have about 30.

I pulled these from some test equipment I s******* way back.

A bunch appear to be Mullard manufacture, dated 60's.

They are labeled B&L, EIA code 1022, which was used on Mullards made OEM for Fisher.

Looking at one the code appears to be 1022-651.

Clearly labeled Great Britain.

I have maybe 20+ of those. A few GE's, RCA, an IEC clearly labeled Mullard with the same 1022 EIA code.

As far as I can tell late 60's and early 70's date codes.

I think B&L may be Bosch and Lomb- that may have been the gear I dismantled. As I have noted the late 60's and early 70's gets very foggy in some places...

I'd frankly like to sell them to somebody who can use them. I don't have a tube tester. May be able to find a bud with one, will ask around.

If you want to discuss business let's take it to PM or email. I don't need top dollar or anywhere near. But unless I can find a tester I have to sell them as is.

If nobody here wants them they'll prolly go to FeePay, unless you guys have ideas where they should go.

I'd certainly consider splitting them into 2 batches of about 15 or so each. I really don't want to go onesy twosey. Thanks guys.

I'd be interested in the Mullards sir.
They work real good in my old fender tube guitar amps.

The B&L's all have Mullards IEC code and say Great Britain.

One IEC says Mullard, same EIA code. Only reference on the net was a vintage amp site that said Mullard used that EIA code when OEMing for Fisher.

I think there is one Telefunken, a couple RCA, couple GE. Pretty much it.

If you want I can try to get out in daylight tomorrow and get some clear pics.

Anyway, first PM was Selmerdave, but he doesn't want all. Maybe you and he could split them? PM or email me.
