If you are in any doubt, contact the seller and raise your concerns...he/she may have some knowledge that we done. I questioned the guy who I bought mine off and he sent a very thorough reply which included historical evidence of its origins. He even showed me how to read the code. |

All telefunken made at Berlin or ulm had the diamond bottom. If it doesn’t have that it’s a rebranded one. They did sometimes outsource if they couldn’t meet Quotas apparently.
It’s Could be a Siemens one although the way you’re PCC88 is printed is smaller and slightly further down than mine and Olis ones?
They did move the production out to EI in Yugoslavia later in the 70s so could be one of those.
Oli, Is it possible the getter may look different as they are two different valves types ? That other pic you posted is a ecc83 ?

I will have a look around the internet and see what i can find out, The later Yugoslavian Ei made Telefunkens had the staples (?) the opposite way apparently. Ei bought the tooling from Telefunken in the early 70's i believe |
