I believe up to VR7 or VR8 exchange code, was used in the 60's. Seems like a nice deal. Keep us posted

Oh, in that case, this does look like an early Heerlen tube. I do hope this sits nicely with my hearing. I'll post my impressions once I have the tube here. Though I only really have my Blackburn Mullard to compare it to.

The Heerlen E188CC's and the Blackburn Mullards are two very different presentations...two high quality
presentations in most peoples' opinions. These may be the only two pair you'll ever need. Let us know what you think when you get 'em.

Still waiting on my blackburn ecc88 67`s from Australia, I love the mitcham mullards I got. My quad Telefunken ecc88`s should be here tomorrow. Are these 60`s Teles?

Looks like 3 75 SWGP Silver Shields and 2 Voskhod 75 Rockets "slightly used" for $100 plus shipping.

I guess so, they're already sold!

Hehe Good for my wallet. But just for the sake of knowledge, I was wondering if they looked legit. I know the print on the tubes doesn't mean much but they seemed a little to clean and with bad font for the CCa, no?

Hey all, what are some good tubes with the HD800 to soothe treble? I was thinking orange globes because i got them for cheap but I'm not sure

Thanks!

The tubes seemed to be coded as 7LG types and the construction with a double-stage O-getter seems consistent with that type. Beyond that, I really can't tell but the fonts do look off from what I've seen.

Could be that the tubes had some user time on them. At least it looks that way given the dark glass stain. I've not seen that on any NOS Heerlens especially three different years from the '60s. Could be the equipment they were used in. Pins are in good condition, and they are a 10,000 hr. tube so may be a good deal with a lot of good quality time on them. (Not 7308s as indicated, CCa is a selected 6922.)

Well, the etch tells you that it's a Heerlen 6922 but I don't have any experience with Valvo/CCa paint and font. The O-getter and flashing shield is typical for all the E88CCs (and family) for these years.

You might want to have a look at the 6922 Tube Review below. The author, rb2013, used the HD800 for the evaluation. You can gather a lot just by reading the summary in the first post.

I replaced the stock cable, which helped a lot for that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TasFrGtJQwQ
