They are indeed JJ E34L. I believe they are early E34L's maybe even a last run before of the Tesla plant before JJ took over (no way to confirm that, just my guess). Not sure when Siemens stopped relabeling tubes and stopped marketing tubes, probably early 90's.

I bought a pair on a whim from that seller, he does state "unknown origin", thinking I might get lucky. I spent the next month scouring the internet to determine their origin and it all points back to the JJ E34L. It's modeled after the KT77 and has high output.

I have to admit I have been using them and they are a very nice tube, but IMO overpriced. They have a huge bottom end w/o being bloated and nice midrange and highs. Not as sweet as my favorite, SED =C= EL34.

Again, IMO they seem to have better quality than current JJ E34L's.

Hope this helps.

Those 12AX7s are obviously Chinese. - Mechans 11:46:21 06/09/12 (4)
