Can someone mention some points to look for when buying Sylvania STR 415's? Can someone even post a picture of one? I see them from time to time on eBay and other gear sites but never really know if I can trust them to be the real deal, any pointers would be appreciated.

Are Sylvania and Philips the same, are the somehow linked?

Thanks.
 
These RCAs are relabeled Sylvanias. Notice the double top getters.

Thanks Ken j, how would one know they are STR 415's, like how were you able to know they were labeled?
 
The print type, size, and location of "6L6 USA" are exclusive to Sylvania's per a tube expert I talked with. I believe the Mesa labeled ones have the STR 415 printed on the tube.
