Re: Another fake?

Hi Fatbottle,

Just to tell you that we re-box tubes, we do not re-brand.
Most customers who are not experts, like to see the Tubes and the boxes in perfect condition, as that is what people expect when purchasing NOS = New Old Stock.
We even leave the dust on the collector Tubes.
Why does the seller never put on the date codes of the Tubes?
Ei was founded by Philips, they still have the old machines for making the Tubes.
Today you would think that the Ei Tubes would be as good as the yesteryear production. This is an incorrect assumption as before they would buy the glass from Philips. Today the quality of the glass, I think, is from China. The glass makes alot of difference in the audio market, the microphonics, etc.
