They are real vintage NOS tubes in original boxes made back in 90s in EI tube factory in Nis, Serbia. If you like sound of Telefunken's smooth plates ECC83 12AX7, you'll like these too, because they are (almost) exact copy. The only differences are in thickness of halo getter and in "staples" which are facing each other. I have few 100 pcs boxes of these tubes and I had enough time last few months to carefully measure them on my.
Metrix and Tesla tube testers for plate currents and Hickok for transconductance. And to make platinum matched pairs with balanced triode sections.You can find them rebranded Telefunken, Philips and Siemens, because all three factories had contracts with EI. You can also find them relabeled Telefunken with diamond mark on the bottom last few years!
