These are some really nice Cossor 5U4G. Boxes indicate that they were made for export and also have the BVA mark.
Guess we know what year they were packaged ... 1953
Flap has instructions on how to remove them from the packaging.
E1L would indicate December 1951 made in Spain.
But the IIOE/47 is puzzling.
Their inner beauty ..

No I don't have enough also need adapters , I'm very happy with my Mullard EL84 Disc getter but if I'm having more of this then I will try
Those IIOE/47 look like Canadian Westinghouse made in Hamilton, Ontario if that's what's puzzling you. Another good option would be Canadian Marconi out of Montreal, Quebec.
Yes, thank you. I tried looking up North American tube codes, but could not find the correct decoder ring.
The help is much appreciated.
Always glad to help out when I can.
A lot of the Canadian tubes are a nightmare to identify. I live about a 30 minute drive away from where the Westinghouse factory was so that helps.
Your tubes are gorgeous. The flashing and ink look incredible compared to anything I own or have seen locally.
Adrian posts so many beautiful tubes, so I guess it's my duty to restore equilibrium in the universe by posting an ugly one.
Some people call this "the potato masher". LOL

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder - and perhaps in the wallet of the tube collector.
One thing about this tube is that it is rugged and durable. Keeps on tickin'.
These are the Cetron version:
Seems durable. Here I have an "Aga Baltic" rectifier made in fact by RCA.
This is a 5X4G, not very common around, but I think it's a nice one. 5X4 and 5Y4 are interesting for me. From what I know Aga Baltic was a radio manufacturer from Sweden (Stockholm) and they rebranded some american tubes. I guess this is one of them.

These are the pairs of 12AU7/ECC82 that I have tried and these are my favorite five that I enjoy using the most.
AWV LBP, Canadian Marconi LBP, CGE 6189, CSF 6189, Electro Harmonix, Gold Lion, Mullard LGP square getter, Philips welded plate, RCA LBP, Siemens E83CC double and triple mica, Sylvania LBP and Westinghouse LBP.
I was misled by Tube Maze info. They listed it:
| E | Hyperlec Brive | Correza, Spain |
Tube Maze
Thanks for the correction. Learning lots about tubes!
