My Tube Collection, Welcome to share yours

Thank you for explaining things to me earlier. I went through my Philips ECC83 tonight and reorganized now that I have a better understanding. Found one other Copenhagen in there. Short plates on the right side. 20241106_193231.jpg20241106_193554.jpg

Short plate Copenhagen ? I never seen one
They're in the boxes of eight with elastics on them so not visible. I try to group my tubes together by construction. The short plate tubes on the right side and long plates left here. I'm too cowardly to take all them out of the boxes. I'd never get them back in order either. I don't know how you do it for some of the pictures you've taken.

Out of the Philips ECC83 I tried I like the welded plates the best .

Yes the welded plate MCA is the most expensive ECC83 at the moment , two of them was sold on eBay for £322 and £423 in the last couple weeks. I'm lucky as I have 8 of them.IMG-20230411-WA0010.jpg

The date codes I have for the welded plate are 4 mCA and 1 mCN. Also another mCN that is stamped plate copper rod 45 d getter . Rest of my Philips are all Heerlen.

Very expensive ECC83. I need some of your luck! I always love looking at your tubes and you take excellent photos. Most of my tubes are acquired with patience and planning. I'll break down occasionally and pay fair market value if I really want something.
