stamped on its base ECG 06/30/96

it was from an old traynor of mine

[JES1680]

Been there... isn't there a TGP NOS tube support group?

[Hand of Doom]

Now that I am home and not looking on my phone, that looks like a China tube. Hard to tell from the pic, but I think the China EL34 use the plastic on the mica. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

If it was from a Traynor amp then it was assembled in Canada so it is metric.

You need to subtract 32 and then multiply by 5/9....

mmmm good Canadian mojo......
