Tube fakes, any experts out there?


I understand that there are many counterfeit tubes out there, anyone have knowledge on how to tell the differences between the real ones and the relabled ones. I just bought some Siemens CCa's which I wonder if they are real.

thanks

Rmml, excellent information! That's what I love about this site, brothers (a few sisters) that will take time to help others! THANKS ALL.
Derrick: You really got into this tube rolling thing quickly. I want some CCa', I want some CCa's, I want some CCa's... too.
Dekay,

Unfortunatly, I have been in to tube rolling for a long time but opted for quantity NOS as opposed to quality NOS. I have lots of JAN Philips and other stuff which some consider junk, but nowadays my motor gets going for those SQ, PQ and CCa labels!!!!

Let me know if you need some CCa, I found a source here near my house who has a source from Germany and thanks to Rmmls link, the CCa he has check out as the real deal!!
I'm glad to help guys, your welcome.
Another tube that I find to give the Siemens CCa a run for it's money are the Siemens 7308 (E188CC designation in Europe), On my Line 2SE I found it better than the Siemens CCa. I bought mine from Kevin Deal,great guy by the way.
