A Mullard question

Hi all, My question is this: I realize mullard tubes were made under different labels. Did amperex and mullard ever join ranks? Also did the words great britian spell out as such or was GT used on the mullard tubes? I hope someone can help me with this. Thanks in advance.

Hello Alex. Yes, Mullard made many outstanding tubes,some are legendary today. However.They also made a lot of mediocre tubes as well as some downright duds for audio applications. You never mention what "type" of mullard tubes you received. Output tubes, triodes,tetrodes, 9 pin miniature receiving tubes or rectifiers, or or or or???????????????

Hello all of you!

Sorry... I received 50 used mostly branded Philips, Thorn & RCA all EL-34 series, and most important ALL THESE was made in England "B" the first of the 4 digit-code at the lowest glass part.
Some with 2 getters and mostly with only One also mostly "crimped" plates and a few "Welded" ones.
Which one is better...really I don't know...YET!

All my best wishes...

ALEX!
