Svetlana Gold label 6267 / EF86
« on: 30 Aug 2022, 06:29 pm »

Can someone help me identify from what year these tubes are ? All that I can see is OTK 59 . I do know OTK is a Russian technical control department but I'm not sure about # 59 . Is that a year of tube production ?

OTK is the QC check and #59 is the technician number who tested this valve, if the failure of this tube causes a military loss they will go to the factory registry to see who was technician 59 who approved the defective valve and his career over and possibly a vacation in Siberia for 10 years, this was the good news.

The bad news was that this tube was rebranded by New Sensor and the year was removed, for what I know Russian tubes always used direct year/month info, they dont used year code as US tubes.
