edzu1234 Posted March 7, 2023 Posted March 7, 2023 What are new reissue tubes? Ebay is selling new reissue Telefunken Tubes. What are these? Thank you for your responses! Quote
henry4841 Posted March 7, 2023 Posted March 7, 2023 Do you mean Viva tubes? They are made in Slovakia apparently. If so not actually Telefunken. Telefunken's are, were, made in Germany. On their site at Ebay. "Please note, this is a new production tube, made in Slovakia and NOT an original / vintage Telefunken. These are considered reissues." https://www.ebay.com/itm/123983799789?hash=item1cde02a5ed:g:POoAAOSw2B1d1u08&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAA4C7anEC470%2BYfPHCWg4mVZ%2FBjusIQ2%2BxjeEKvY03CUvG%2FY48W7CTpuPQgSmF6GlNE9nyrbsMLjFh5Wj%2B4YwI4oqWYozin%2Bt7k6T1Ww3sJ0h%2Bvn9gtxTRXsgmXUU%2BFH2NAze7xiutGRh7MSOg4mRlYy5OpW1eg1XmD%2FN%2BRVvq8cu9%2FpXRDoaJSgEsxb%2FydpGEPDDgtX2tuZ980gv%2Fbp69nOWfbKJRLzSfmrtFZOhh9oVYys7DoYxGueqcRECjTm5iJY8Tj6TLAWiyzeFjQwUTqRG9HnOI%2F2ME7dVlETW2cPCo|tkp%3ABFBM0qXA29dh Quote
edzu1234 Posted March 7, 2023 Author Posted March 7, 2023 Ok, I got it. Has anyone used these Viva Tubes? Thoughts on them? Quote
KT88 Posted March 12, 2023 Posted March 12, 2023 Mixed impressions about Viva here: https://www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?threads/viva-tubes.2066120/ So far I understand Viva is a dealer and not a maker of tubes. And in the thread link above, some customers disagree with the way Viva uses the definition of NOS. Regarding those „Telefunken“ tubes. I can't find anything new information about these American Telefunken rebranded tubes that were supposedly made at JJ. Quote
seti Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 The sale and liberal use of old tube brand names is disingenuous. 3 Quote
