Yes. Only one of my cage has the emblem. The other is gone unfortunately.

Someone has reproductions on eBay now.

 

[Brice]

Thanks to x3workshop to get me some.
Really nice reproduction work.

The left one is the original, right is the new one.

And I think they sound better with the new badge.

I'm glad this thread got rebooted. I missed it first go-around.

What a glorious job you did, my man! Thank you for the enjoyable thread, the commentary, felt like I participated.

Those are oozing end-game, at least in my mind.

The tags are made by an eBay seller named AudioTagsIowa. His name is Burton. He also made the front badges for my 275. They came out great, and. He even printed up a few extra and posted them. I left his info in a previous post

I can’t seem to locate where I last left off with the posts on the rebuild of my 275, so I see most of you are here in this chat, so I’ll just go on to say that I finally finished the refurbishing of the 2 units I picked up last February ( can’t believe a years gone by). I followed Dave G’s post on the rebuild, and I must say I’m very happy with the results.

They finally made it out into my lineup where I’ve been listening daily. I took a little bit of time messing with the coupling caps, tried 716p, Mallory’s, and settled on CD mpw’s. Be moving on to my next project now, Fisher 55a’s EL34 version, hopefully won’t be a year in the making.

Outstanding work and I bet they sound as good as they look.
I do believe your posts your looking for are in the thread Attention Fairchild freaks.Enjoy the fruits of your labor.

 

[mr5448l6z]

Just want to say thank you to all you guys who helped provide me with information and pics to help guide me through this project. A special thanks to Dave G. for all the information he generously shares with us all. Without the guidance his posts provide ide probably still be trying to figure out the difference between an anode and an an ahole. Seriously thanks for all the help fellows.

 

[Brice]

Outstanding.
How do you find the sound?

Wow, 275's and 55A's, you're going to have quite the setup! Beautiful work.
