In Reply to: What's the word on the 1960's Japanese 6DJ8 tubes? posted by blazter on April 3, 2003 at 15:11:51:
Here is some info that I found from Google:
----------------------------------------------------------------
Matsushita had purchaced all new tube production facilities from British Mullard in early 50's, after they lost factories by the war. Since they had been known as somewhat second class maker compare with NEC or TEC(now Toshiba), the best production technlogy had needed to be introduced to compete. So, not only factories but also detailes and materials of tubes were identical with Mullard, later Dutch Phillips. Most of their products were exported, purchased by Mullard or othes till early 60's.They gradually modified Mullard given design and add originalities in 60's to the end of tube production in 70's. But always you can see similality to Licencer's design. They had produced most major civilian receiving type of Mullard/Philips design, very seldom original.
Not many tubes can be seen branded Panasonic or Matsushita in outside of Japan, except service parts of their TV or FM Receiver so far.
