Philips EY51 valves.
Hello,
First I must apologise for my Decca 1000 thread going cold. I am waiting for a Hernia operation and SHMBO has banned me from in her words "lugging it about". I bought 6 Philips EY51's from France via eBay. I have used a couple without any problems. On fitting one to a Bush TV24 I noticed it had a green label with 3.3 under it. I checked the rest and found yellow label 5.6 and green label 11.4. They all came in French Philips boxes. My question is are these just date codes or do they have another meaning? I think a young man in Eindhoven could possibly help! Thanks and Regards Steve. |

Re: Philips EY51 valves.
Did you look for small printed codes on the valves themselves? If the codes on the labels are date codes they should be correlated to the printed codes. If they don't correspond in some way, the labels are more likely to be related to testing or quality control.
