The Tele G73R initially sound a good deal better than the 1965 Tele smooth plates.
Thanks for the heads up, fotomeow!!!

The adapters work better if you actually put them in over the socket saver and the Mullards in the adapter!?!?
My Tele 'Black Beauties' G73R are here. The pair tests at 101/103 and 103/101 so they are nicely matched plate to plate internally as well as tube A to tube B. I just noticed they were 'no longer available' on the Tube Depot site even at the full price of $400/tube.
Not a big tube 'burn in' guy, so I'll see how they sound with only 10-15 minutes of warm up.
Can you see them.....................NO, because they're STEALTH!!!
You seeing ANY date codes on the tubes?The Tele G73R initially sound a good deal better than the 1965 Tele smooth plates.

Even though I'm sure you'll deny it, it's now becoming clear you're retired CIA. Maybe NSA. Or perhaps some black op that doesn't even have an acronym. This explains the secret hideout in the woods, going off the grid, etc. And this is exactly why I use Fotons, 'cause I'm more afraid of Vladimir than I am you guys.
Nope.............just black paint over the glass and hand written 'G73R' on the side like in this picture from 'Tube Depot'. The tube tester readings are as tight as I was hoping, plate to plate internally, and tube 1 to tube 2.
I got it! Let me scrape off this pesky black paint............there has GOT to be a stinkin code on these Tele's
Damn straight. Good numbers. The pic shows a pair of the anti-vibe TMs under the new TM 12xxx/ECC88 adaptors.My Tele 'Black Beauties' G73R are here.

Status update on my Telefunken ECC82 spray painting venture. Waiting for the go ahead, for the custom lettering at no extra charge. @nwavesailor your PayPal ready?
You can have anything you want on the tubes bro. Can even put whatever codes you want between the pins. I turned this GE 12AU7 into a high priced Copenhagen ECC82.TK, can you paint on monograms...or maybe the Red Hot Chili Peppers logo?
I'm guessing BangyBang is reading this idea and thinking about being able to upgrade to a nice, thick Berber carpet.
