That second part sounds painful, but I'll do it if you think it will help.

Definitively helps. Just be careful when sitting down.

Think that's how they burn in tubes in that state, buncha weirdos. Sorry Sammy! You are not included in my statement.

The 56 ECC81 Heerlen, finally got delivered today 8 days after I bought it, understandable since it was sent from NJ to NJ!

4 is Venezuela according to Brent Jessee.

I think the factory code was reused; first Eindhoven, later Venezuela.

Eindhoven was the hometown of Philips with most of the R&D taking place there. There were several factory codes given to the different departments there. Many of these were later reused.

Would it be considered Eindhoven then? Thanks.

 

[Oskari]

With the factory code 4 and from 1951, yes, it would.
