  Doc gets 12AT7's for the Paramour (and 12AU7's for the Foreplay) wherever he can, often in lots as small as 10 at a time. They are all tested to work, but may be any brand or type.

    Hi Paul. I see now.

    I was just curious because I'm planning on rolling the 12AT7s and someone is suggesting GE Five Stars... this could be what I already have!

    Thanks again,
    Parick

  They could be JAN 12AT7's if they have the green lettering on them. JAN is a military designation.

    The lettering's white... and I can make out the GE logo. Is JAN affiliated with GE?

      'JAN' designates Joint Army Navy, so these were, I assume, made OEM for the military by the big tube makers on those juicy contracts. I've seen the JAN label on Sylvania- and RCA-branded tubes, I don't recall seeing it on "GE tubes" though (but from my understanding RCA and GE labeled tubes were often made in the same factory).

      Noam
