Need help identifying a GZ34 valve (box/valve label "Pope - Made in Holland")

131.176.183.182

Posted by mb-de on October 6, 2000 at 02:01:33

Yesterday I have acquired some original sealed boxes with NOS GZ34s - a repair shop clearing out some old spares.

Boxes and valves are labeled "Pope GZ34 Made in Holland".

The boxes are yellow/blue with star, tube and wave designs, and 'Pope' logos in red.

The bulb has some numbers etched in - at the side adjacent to pin 4:

- first row 'f32'
- second row 'B7H2' (maybe '87H2')

The valves look very similar to one very old Mullard GZ34 I had in the spares box - having a flat top bulb.

I think the Valves are Philips - but I have no 'key' to verify this via the etched-in manufacturer code.

I know that there have been some discussions on the topic in some newsgroups before, but cannot quite recall the heading - so accept my apologies if I am asking something obvious.

Any expert opinion coming forward would be greatly appreciated...

Regards,
