Well the original equipment tubes were Telefunken for the older Fisher equipment and later they used Sylvania 12ax7. Prices for Tele are rather high but Sylvania can still be found for reasonable cost. Baldwin tubes are a mixed bag. You can find Mullard, Sylvania, Japanese Matsushita, that is just off the experience i have had with Baldwin. In other words Baldwin does not make tubes they just bought some and had their logo placed on it.
 
if those Baldwins were made in USA as he said, they could well be Sylvanias. The green-ink ones I've used are, and they sound very nice.
