The tubes in the photos are not even close to similar to the Svetlana tubes that I have which were purchased by me in the 90’s. Firstly, there is no "Winged C" on the tube I have. Instead it has a stylized "S". Under this "S" appears this description: Svetlana Electron Devices Inc EL34 Made in Russia 9639 I have other Svetlana tubes (KT 88’s) which were made after the sale of the Svetlana logo which had adopted the use of the "Winged C" logo, but this logo was in a fine print identical to my EL34’s and 6550’s made before the sale. My guess is that these tubes are not original Svetlana tubes made in St Petersburg. FWIW |
An addendum to my previous post. I went into my stash of Svetlana EL34 and I found some which were made about 10 years after the ones I mentioned previously. They had the "Winged C" logo and in descending order the following: EL34 Made In Russia 0502 Totally different from those in the picture in the ad. Draw your own conclusions, but mine have not changed. FWIW. |
Not sure they are, I had NOS Svetlana winged C EL34s from the 1998-2000 production https://www.watfordvalves.com/product_detail.asp?id=1481 Actual pic https://postimg.cc/HJjqSgg5 |
