A used tube in good condition and in working order. It is particularly strong on the first triode, but this isn’t an issue as pre-amp tubes are self balancing. Plate Current: ia (mA) 1.2 2.6 1.6. Actual Readings.

All our tubes are tested f or shorts and gas leak. S = 2.0 / 2.0 mA/V all (1.6 = 100 %). Result: Ia = 1.5 / 1.5 mA all (1.2 = 100 %).

Identical 1962 dates, and excellent print on the glass. Perfect balance between the sections within each tube. Both tubes feature the characteristic diamonds cast in the bottoms of the glass. Number 12AX7.

Diamond bottom is not proof any more. The only differences are in thickness of halo getter and in "staples" which are facing each other.
