You might well have had an answer and possibly even an offer of the correct valve type by now if you just took the time to answer those simple questions.

My friend acquired another valve type radio yesterday. I had a quick look at one of the valves. The printing was more clear on the base and it read 'Sylvania' so this must be a brand name as suggested by Surfer Joe.
She is following a lead on where to get a valve but will keep me informed.

We may also follow up the leads that have been given on this forum. Many thanks for your input.

1265871 2012-03-23 03:57:00 Here's a question to test general knowledge.......Which wartime valve produced in huge quantities, or "toob" as Joe would call it was known as a 'Red Sylvania' ? Terry Porritt (14)

1265874 2012-03-23 14:21:00 I know Mullards (through Radovan Hako) are currently made in Russia. The European numbering system: ECC82 (2AU7A), ECC83 and EL34s are made there for sure.

Some are made in Bulgaria though, as it was a Russian State for many years.
