If they're grey plates and shields, they're early 60's. If silver they're late 60's/ 70's.

Any chance of posting a pic?

Ah cool, hows the sound compared to the 60`s e88cc Mitcham`s, got 2 sets of early 66 and a set of blackburn mullard ecc88  67.
I think Brent Jesse is might selling the same tubes for $325. His description were 70`s e188cc  Mullards with the RTC logo



Looking at a set of Seimens e188cc grey shields, date code is G0/1F/4A. Anybody know the year of production?

They are Mitchams so the sound is pretty much the same It's exactly 1970s E188CC made for RTC Mullard Mitchams

Kinda hard to see the numbers in the pic, I got the numbers from the details.

Those are definitely 60's. Also, there's a lot of Siemens enthusiasts that consider them better or equal too , the CCa version. Definitely post your thoughts once you get them. You got em at a good price as well.

Did not buy em yet, thinking about it since the price is nice, put in my 1st pair of Tele ECC88`s and after the many sets of warm tubes I been burning in, nice to hear more detail and neutral sounding tube for a change of pace.

Went ahead and bought this set, going to cool it now with the buying (hopefully). My first set of Siemens. Brent has these on audiotubes.com for $350 so looks like a decent deal for $230.

If those are real Stuttgarts it doesn't surprise me. And I've NEVER seen Stuttgart CCa's.

That set makes me feel a LOT less guilty of spending $230, thanks for that.

See, now that's how the game is played

  Hope those Siemens E188CCs work out for you.  I've had good luck with that seller, who certainly has, and has sold, a boatload of tubes.

I got my Heerlen CCa from him and a set of Mullard E188CC, he has a lot of great tubes.
