Hey guys, I was hoping one of you experts could help identify this tube I found. It's a 10m B&L-labelled 9-pin tube with Great Britian manufacturing origins. Visually, the plate structure/material, spacers, and construction look identical to a '60s Mullard ECC83 that I have, as well as the GT 12AX7-M. Do you think this is a Mullard ECC83 with gold pins? I've seen ones identical to this on eBay as a Mullard ECC83, but I don't have a tester so I can't be sure its a 100mu preamp tube. The first picture shows the labeling, the second the plate structure, and the third shows the 10m B&L, a GE-labelled '60s Mullard ECC83, and a GT 12AX7-M for comparison. If this is what I think it is, it could be pretty cool in V1 of my RxES. Thanks!

These are great tubes. Back in the 70s, Realistic used to sell these and they were pricy. It is a true British Mullard and the gold pins versions were the premium picked versions that had the pins plated after they were hand selected.

I hoped that was the case. I can't wait to try this in V1 of my RxES.
