But frankly, many tubes that we see are reprinted,
In general the Vacuum tube industry was set up where the makers would sell "Blank" tubes to each other. I recall one place I bought tubes as a Kid had a special on 12AT7 tubes where the distibutor had accidently shipped "blank" tubes rather than Marking them "Admiral" and sticking them in "Admiral" cartons. The dealer sold me some at a discount, as with no markings there was not a date code and therefore no warranty.
So I don't think the term should be reprinted, or remarked as the tube would not have a mark from the factory in the first place.
