Yes, the fragility of the marking is a very good sign on some German tubes. Still, I do not see why the people who would like to fake them nowadays could not reproduce the washable marking. They have learned how to make the diamonds under the bottom of the Tele’s pins, so to make fragile paint is not really a difficult task. The signal tubes are not really a big deal. If you once catch a good butch and buy a few 12AX7 for phonostage then they most likely last to the end of your life. The typed like 437A or 417A do die relatively fast but 12AX7 with it’s 1mA on plate will live forever. So, I feel it worth to pay expensive piece once in life for good new 12AX7 and do not worry about it everRerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
