6w T5 Tubes: SLI, THORN EMI, CN GE & Philips

Purchased these recently from eBay along with some 8 watters too. All working fine. Top to bottom:

- Sylvania white, appears new. Doesn't say where it was manufactured, China?
- THORN EMI white, used.
- 2x GE China white, new. Don't know anything about these, any good?
- Philips white, used, made in Holland. Etch very worn, date code made out as 5L, November 1975?

Not a bad little haul here. Philips will be 95 think they changed their caps in 98 and if 75 would be soldered pins not crimped. Good scores

oh aye, lack of soldered pins should have given it away. This etch looks much older than it really is!

Also the philips has notched caps which makes it 1995
