Re: Valvo Codes

Russ' info is good, except . . . you'll find the type code on the shortplates is actually Gf0, not GF0, these are case sensitive! Gf is indeed 12AU7. In fact, you'll find it on Philips 12AU7s from other plants, but these will have different factory code, like the "delta" for Heerlen, etc., rather than the Hamburg "D".

Also, the dates given above are the only ones that fit the data provided; there were no Hamburg k62s other than in the 1950s, etc.
