Description

This is for 2 GE VT-143/805 power tubes, both with good filaments. Even though the exterior writing has worn off completely, I am highly confident that these are GE manufacture for three reasons: 1)There is a square "plate" getter at the base - RCA used predominanly a wire D, square, or hoop getter, and United used a sort of rounded plate. Only GE and Taylor used this style of getter (at least that I can determine through comparing various brands). 2)There is a single clamp bolt on the base retaining ring (used to support the vertical rods holding everything up) - Taylor Tubes have two. 3)Serial numbers are hand written on the glass inside at the base of the assembly on the "pinch" - No other primary manufacturer wrote serial numbers at that location.
