I'm no expert...I only play one on TV (1960's vintage).

Be interesting to know if there's any etching on the glass on your tube. I don't think GE etched the 'dots' from the beginning (not sure when they started with that), but if yours does have etched dots it's definitely a GE.

Wait for the photo

This Philco is not bad

There’s GEC osram, which was British and the Italian Marconi brand was soon was bought out by GE. I don’t think Marconi never produced tubes. So the euro Marconi tubes may have been made by Mullard and Canadian Marconi either GE, RCA (Radiotron) or sometimes others like Westinghouse. (I didn’t verify this information.) I’ll attach those 6J5Gs that I own which are stamped “Made in Canada” with the RCA octagon badge. I don’t own any regular RCA 6J5Gs to compare but I always thought these sounded nice and i’ve learned are quite rare.

I have an idea about the anonymous puppeteer

The Marconi

That's not a GE.. most likely Sylvania. The one I have is a GE... and sounds like a GE.. bleak, stale, anemic, and lifeless. I was halfway into the comparisons and thought..OMG... . The casual user "might" appreciate this tube.

Definitely not a GE or would have made its way to where the stock Chinese tube is resting

Question. Is there a drop in replacement volume pot for the DV ? The Alps I got a few months ago besides being bigger in size and let's say I drill a bigger hole and all of that, it doesn't slide the volume up and down. It's just maxed out. Maybe I did something wrong but I'm looking to change it soon. I don't want it to sit and gather dust and not be used. I'm looking for options

Most likely you did something wrong. And no drop in replacements.

The 20K Alps I put in mine works just fine, and a pretty nice upgrade over the stock pot. The chassis hole does have to be drilled out larger and I cut off the locator pin on the front of the pot so I didn't have to remove the faceplate to drill a hole for it, but beyond that it was not difficult to swap out.
