Interesting; On My Telefunken AZ12 Mesh, The Plate appears much longer than on the Valvo...EDIT After looking more closely they appear very similar...

This is pretty cool. In the box the text is patent information. And also in the box was this cartoon. My German is a little rusty but if someone who does read German can translate I would appreciate it. Its a little hard to make out...

from what Understand, as I have not done the comparison, there is a sonic difference between the TFKN AZ12 silver mesh and the Valvo AZ12 black mesh, but as I said before these tubes are so close it likely matters not

You're half right Goran! Yes that is a skull, I can't divulge the "gentleman's" name or I will incriminate myself. The only thing I can say is he "was" in the audio business. That other object is a small level. If it was a hammer I could understand you're concerns! Hammer/Skull together! Not a good combo! LOL!!!! Now that I look at the level it could be mistaken for a primitive hammer!

Those are some weights I made. I wanted something a little different and aesthetically pleasing. TBH I'm not sure how much it helps. I do steel sculpture so I always have different metals laying around. I cut these from some stock I had...
