RE: Mysterious Tubes in 1965 Fender Vibro Champ / Hickok branded?!

Posted by Tre' on March 18, 2021 at 11:26:14:
They are left overs from the recording studio that I built and used to work at. The owner of the studio was an equipment dealer credited (in an article in The Absolute Sound) with starting the whole "vintage American audio gear sold to the Japanese" thing.
When we closed the studio and he sold all the classic tube studio gear he allowed the buyers to pick a set of spare tubes for each piece of gear and the rest he gave to me.
Those are just the US made 12ax7s. There are many others and many other tube types that I got from him.
