Typo, meant to say:"Matsushita's didn't start being made in 1981 when Mullard shut down making EL34's.
Follow Ups:
Here Ya GO! While the 1954 date of when Matsushita began metalbase production is questionable, scroll down to the first picture of black base Matsushita EL34. Made in 1961. Interesting history of a mythical tube!

I'm not sure what you are saying here, but I have Matsushita EL34s dating back to the 1960s. They even made metal base EL34s under license. THIS IS FACT; a bit of research should clear this up for you. Just google "Japanese EL34" and "Japanese 6CA7" and you will find a detailed history of Matsushita, Toshiba, and Hitachi; this will clarify this issue greatly for you. While I may not care/know for sure if Matsushita ever owned owned Mullard, because I don't have hard evidence, this kind of misinformation about 1981 dates etc. is starting ANOTHER myth and needs correction.
Easy Tiger. LOL. Press the Rewind button and hit Play again. This time listen to what I actually said (including the typo correction) rather than what you wanted me to say.
