So I have 4 very old Mesa tubes.
Two are early Mark III era (late IIC) 12AX7s
One labeled Mesa STR 12AX7 in white large print
the other same age; Mesa SP12AX7 (7025) (pre-rubber covering)
another of the same age; Mesa STR 12AT7
the last is a few years younger, probably the first run of the SP12AX7s with the rubber covering over it; definitely pre 1990.
So my question is what manufacter's are these tubes?
