Nice link Tvad. I have 4 pairs of the early gray riser Siemens( some call them gray plates) and all have the codes on the glass but one.
But they are ECC88 not CCa, although CCa are said to be the pick of the litter from ECC88.
Semens & Halske E88CC
Characteristics:
- double stage getter
- AØX ≠XX code on getter support
Comment:
Quite rare.
That is the info from the website. I think a bit of an oversight as most I have seen that have the codes on the getter support are the silver riser.
I have 8 tubes with the AØX ≠XX code. 7 being gray riser with code on glass and 1 gray riser with code on getter support.
Go figure!
I also found the ECC88 gray riser to be better then the later CCa silver riser. YMMV
This is my favourite tube from the 6JD8, 6922, 7308 family.
