The tube box site in your link is well worth it for NOS tube shoppers

Gregg v.

I appreciate your mention of the tube box site as this does help revela the complexity of tube relabelling and it's essential for NOS buyers to recognise the evolution of the boxes to be able to have an idea of the period. When you see a yellow and black Sylvania box with the small lightning bolt, or the Wite Telefeunken as compared to the light blue, it's the Valvo blue and yellow instead of the bright yellow with red and black tube, you're dealing wiht earlier tubes than if the box is the birghter yellow with the blockier lettering. And so on- very useful and I see boxes and labels I'd never heard of.

Interesting that there is an "AMC" rebrander shown on the tube box site, but it's yet another variation of a lower case "amc" logo- therefore we've considered the printing on your tube, amc Theaters, the AMC rebrander, and amc cars- and all are different.

I wonder if collecting stamps would be simpler?

Thanks!

Cheers,

Bambi B
