EL84 Micron
Hello, this is my forst post!
My name is Fábio and recently I bought four NOS tubes EL84 MICRON.
I'm trying to find some information about these tubes, like origin, or who re-branded them.
Thanks very much!

My notoriously dodgy memory says that Micron are usually rebranded Ei valves.
If they are from Ei, they might carry an "etched" code similar to a Philips group code - here is an example on a 12AX7 -
but the absence of a code might only indicate that the batch was produced for re-labelling - a common thing with Ei valves.

Thanks Dotfret
I was thinking it was a Tungsram EL84 rebranded tube.

and

because there are a lot os similarities with mine like the little metal tab above the mica, and the flat connexion between the pins.
But I'm not sure yet.
