I just watched the youtube video :) 500G shock rating as per the Raytheon 5755 datasheet . Cathode damping rings . Why are these needed if the microphony is so low ?

Some of the comments have been made by sock puppets by the looks of things . The link provided on the Ebay listing to a pair sold looks like a family member or friend's account was used as they are in the same town as the seller (La Hambra)

I reckon these are Raytheon 5755 , a $7 tube , the seller is sitting on thousands of these judging by their Ebay listings . If these were WE 420A then why put a sticker over the WE markings ? Not even a 12AX7 either , more like a 5751 . Must think there is one born every minute . Caveat emptor !
