Northern Electric Tubes

[x3workshop]

I have 4 NOS Northern Electric 396A Tubes that are made in Canada. 61 52 codes I know Western Electrics are sought after but I don't have much sense of their Canadian cousins. Any info appreciated.

The market does value Northerh Electric tubes higher than those made by others. The problem is that the 396A is not that valuable a tube. If they test really decent you might be talking $20+ per tube instead of $5.

Yes, limited uses. Still, good to know they're well regarded. Thanks.

Weren't those made by Marconi? I've got a couple Marconi branded 12AU7's that are quite tasty.
