Was told this is a Telefunken 12AT7 tube; never seen one with a centre shield before...

:scratch2:

Hate to break it to you, That is a Telefunken, but its not a 12AT7. It looks like an ECC85 or a 6AQ8.

Dang. Thanks for the confirmation. Should've asked for photos ahead of time; lesson learned.

Was sold this as a pair of 12AT7 tubes...

The one with the small plates might look like a 12AT7, can we see a closeup?

It's not that the tube with the center shield (probably 6AQ8/ECC85) is worthless or anything- is is just NOT a 12AT7. Someone may well need that for an FM tuner or receiver...

The other one (no center shield) definitely does look like it's probably a 12AT7.

Regards,
Gordon.

I'm going to close this, if the parties involved would like to keep me up to
date on the resolutions we can decide if any further action need be taken.

Thank you, the tube forum moderator..
