Various types of HGE tubes
|
Just wanted to add a regular pic of unlit various HGE tubes I randomly picked from collection. Mainly to test out how this website works and what are the quirks with it. so I can get familiar. I am su happy that with a few members amazing help, I was able to grow my HGE collection. Currently I live in Lithuania, and we did get HGE tubes, but 99% of all of them, were branded Tungsram, witch was the old name of the factory before GE bought it in 1991, but they kept the Tungsram name on the conveyor, so the tubes that were destined to come to eastern european countries, would always be stamped Tungsram so the trust developed by vintage products from back in the day would not be lost if they had changed Tungsram with GE name. But occasionally we could still find GE branded tubes. I guess when factory was short of Tungsram stamped tubes they would send away GE ones. But the Tungsram tubes we gotten over the years, and not only that, but the types were always the super boring F74 daylight and F33 cool white. On rare occasions we could buy F29 warm whites, but those were rarely imported, as the daylight was king in Lithuania. On super rare occasions, a few F25 universal whites were available, but I have ever managed to find literally three working ones and one EOL. I am super excited about this manufacturer. I don't know what is so special about it, but I am super thrilled by it, and whenever I get new types that I never had before, I get super happy. To this day I was not capable of getting at least a single HGE Polylux T12 tube, and I am dying to find one. If any of you amazing people have one 2ft Hungarian GE Polylux tube to trade, please, write me, we could do an amazing trade!
