Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

5965?

can you really use that tube for anything? My understanding was that it was a "computer tube" with not very well matched halves.
I found two sleeves (12 tubes) of ICC Servicemaster 5965 tubes relabeled by them as 12AT7's. This fraud appears to be deliberate as the 12AT7 ink was carefully placed over the acid etched (GE) 5965 label.
This International Components Corp. fraud is also reported on one dealer's web site.
ICC no longer resells tubes. I sent them a letter anyway, asking them to refund me on the tubes, even though they were purchased years ago. It's the principle. I'm not really concerned with whatever I spent on them.
