    Any chance Mullard factory made and labeled for Amperex?
    I have a 6AS7 tube that is engraved as Amperex but says made in England

      Mullard and Amperex were both owned by Philips, along with Valvo, Miniwatt, and others.

    So is it the opposite possible? I mean, a Mullard tube made by Philips and labeled like Mullar “made in England”
    I have bid a Mullard pair labeled like “Made in England”, but I haven’t received them yet.

    I don’t know why the label don’t say “Made in Great Britian”
    Any chance they were made by Philips and labeled like Mullard “made in England”?
    Or may be they could be a fake Mullard?

    I have no idea about this matter.
    Thanks for your attention.

    Interesting film; I started at Blackburn in ’68 as an apprentice tool-maker and worked in many of the departments shown so more than a few of those machines were familiar to my much younger self!
