Items | Description | ITTASTC | ITT(International Telegraph Company) was established in 1925, by ATT company in USA. They made a compatible tube for Western electric tube. | Comments | Generally speaking, type 3A/109B is compatible for Western electric type 104D. But the sound quality is different with both tubes. The tube code of last letter "A" means UV socket shape, "B" means UF socket shape. I recomend "B" type if you have a chance to get it, beacuse of having strong contacts. I have a family of these tubes, 3A/108A,3A/109B,3A/110B. These tubes will be lost in the world. |

Items | Description | Northern Electric | The Nothern Electric company was branch of Western Electric in Canada. The tube brand of NE has a compatible characteristic and quality with WE made. But usually, we can buy them at low price than the WE tubes. I had a recommendation from seller that he had better condition NE-205D tubes than WE-205D. So I bought 2 pcs of tubes from him. |

UX socket?? | Generally speaking, type 205D tube has UV shape socket. But this NE-205D has UX shape socket. It's prefer for me, because The UX socket has strong contact than UV socket. I had a news from friends that NEC company had been made same shape too. It is an interesting news. |
Items | Description | Zoom up plate constraction | The getter is coated on the top of grass. The patent signature is engraved around grass. I think this construction is very simple. If you have a chance to get it, please check the grass pillar. Due to have weak construction, it will be clacked by vaiblation at easyly. but the tube often runs well. |

Items | Description | The original box | I am not interested in the original tube box, but I think this box is collecter's item. The tube was wraped with a felt carefully. I was very moved to this construction when I opened the box. |

Items | Description | Comments | The picture shows type 102F, 102L at the left side. I can not choice these tubes without wacthing the printed letter on the base. The heater of electric current is differnt each other, type D(1.0A), F(0.5A), L(0.25A). Regarding as the electric current, the sound character is as follows: D(fat), F(natural), L(delicate). I will try to check the unique sound with chenging tubes. |

Items | Description | comments | I like the type 45 tube in USA made. I had collected over 40 pcs yet. In these tubes, I prefer Raytheon made brand, especially 4 pillar box plate construction. It has a strong electrode, the heater is supported with each side of pillar and has two section, so called "4-piller". i have the baroon shape type 245, but DUD. | Comments | The Raytheon brand had been made on many variation as follows: - Baroon shape 245 engraved the brand mark on the box plate. - Baroon shape 245 no mark box plate. - Engraved base with 4-Pillar box plate. - Engraved base with 4-Pillar standard plate. - Printed base with standard plate. I recomend to choice the "Engraved base with 4-Pillar box plate". |
