Charles, that is a really nice example of reprinting.
But frankly, many tubes that we see are reprinted, for example I am not
even sure if Siemens produced their tubes themselves.
But still .. You can be SURE! if its Westinghouse.
Yes, loved that phrase just like you :-)

I bought a batch of 100 NL5870L tubes form Richardson in January 2002.
They were stamped in blue with the National logo and a 2002 date code,
put in red and white National boxes.
A couple years later, I bought a couple thousand of the same tubes form
the same guy, but they were stmped ITT 5870L in white with no date
codes, delivered in white styro trays. They must have been the same tubes.
I guess that Richardson's job is like that of NTE, to stamp their brand
and today's date on 30-year-old surplus parts.
