It's an ECC83.

Sounds fabulous in my Miniwatt N3, so quite keen to get another one.

Plates are long, smooth and grey.

Halo getter, double mica

Isn't the GU50 a power pentode?

The brand appears to be "TRIGON"

Couldn't find any ecc83 pics, but this looks like the logo on this tube.

Amazing! Thanks Earle.

Now to find a spare. This relabelled brand tube sounds even better than a Telefunken ECC803 in the Miniwatt for me.

Smooth, long plate.

Hi orcker.
Seems I have one the same, or at least very similar.
Tests good (over 100%) on my avo. Sounds good too.
PM me your address and I'll send it to you, I have no use for it.

You'd think that these days, they'd laser etch the numbers into the glass instead of printing them on.
It's so easy to remove.

Give me ambiguity or give me something else.

Blimmy Earle - amazing ID stunt there and commendable generosity too. You sir are a scholar and a gentleman.
