Or something like this...one tube to rule them all...lol.

Ah, GE perforated plate fire-wire novals - a solid choice indeed:

I kind of like GE, with their balanced sections and reduced microphonics, but I guess that's just me :

I've never seen a T-plate GE, the inner structure of the tube looks like a Sylvania W or WGT, so very likely a Sylvania rebrand.

GE tubes will survive after all others perish. They are the cockroach of the tube world.

Agreed about it not looking like a GE structure, however, the flashing doesn't come down far enough to be a Sylvie W as those are typically covered at 1/2 of the tube. I cannot really tell w/ certainty on this pic, but this looks like it may be a standard bottle. WGTs were short bottles, IIRC. THe umbrella top mica and center support rod are so characteristic of a W, however.

Below are the Rogers tubes a Spanish vender is selling. It's about the same length as Sylvania W or WGT, only anomaly is the getter flashing not going down as much as W or WGT.

So I think it's very likely a Sylvania rebrand, or at least Rogers imported the cage from Sylvania and put on their own glass and base in Canada.

Found priceless GE 6sn7 gtb red label super exclusive match pair.

W's also have an OVAL bottom mica -- not round.

Maybe it's just viewing angle, I see round bottom mica, not oval...

Again, pic from the Spanish vender

 

[cddc]

I saw your point now, Sylvania W does have oval-ish bottom micas, but Sylvania WGT/WGTA have round bottom micas.

Anyway, I think this tube must have a close connection to Sylvania or Sylvania parts.

 

[Ripper2860]

Agreed!! There is definitely a Sylvania lineage here w/ the Rogers implementation closely resembling the WGT. (My guess is WGTA)

Hey but GE 5670 tubes are great!

No wait this is the wrong thread

It's the right thread ! It's now the GE Reference thread.
