Ivan, the mitcham mullards were always dull and smeared when compared to the Blackburn counterparts. Even my ecc88s were better than my CCa mitchams. Granted my sample group leaves much to be desired. None were d getters.
There is an auction 149,99 for 4 square getters. Linked it few times, was 269.see if he will accept the the opening bid.

They aint JW but three are from 1950, one 1951.
I much prefer the WE 396A to the GE 5670. Prefer all my 5670 variants over the GE. IMO of course.
Can you show some pics of said Mitchams? Because it's the same to me my later years Mitchams were subpar. But the early ones are damn good. And they destroy my 1964 Ecc88 blackburnsIvan, the mitcham mullards were always dull and smeared when compared to the Blackburn counterparts. Even my ecc88s were better than my CCa mitchams.

Don't hate the GE's but don't love em either mine are the triple mica square getter JG? 5670. Think those are 1 of the best specimens. Bought them to be dac tubes so I'll keep em. Think the Mitcham Mullards in the early 70's took a big nose dive in SQ. I preferred the Blackburns ECC88 to the 72 Mullard E188CC dimple getters I had. Gave both of those sets away a while ago. Did those Mullards have a dimple getter?Still waiting for the " Frankonverters" hates Chinese shipping HATES IT! Preciouses all lined up.
TK I really like those GEs. Taste and gear are a huge factor fa sho but the added soundstage coupled with their natural/ neutral sound and the sweet price makes for a winner .
