BRIMAR : Reception tested label
I found this wonderfully preserved little paper label attached to an unused B7G BRIMAR valve.
Not seen one of these before. A great little bit of valve manufacturing history Andy |

Re: BRIMAR : Reception tested label
Yes, in the 1950s Brimar "trustworthy" valves had a yellow-triangle-with-a-T logo. I've got some of these [from Vulcan-Bomber STC R4187 receivers and such].

Re: BRIMAR : Reception tested label
I have small collection of blue pin protectors from Mullard valves, each having the pinout of the valve type! I don't think they did this for long though..
