Re: Ultra BRC 1500
Yes, we were using Unitra tubes for replacements in the early 80s as the re-gunning firm we used were only doing colour tubes and the Unitras were cheap (nasty) and cheerful which suited our service manager! I was fitting them to Pye 169 and ITT VC200s I thought it spoilt a good set but I suppose they were getting old.
I remember seeing some new old stock Thorn 1500s that turned up from somewhere, they were fitted with the Mullard tubes with the purple label. They were below par compared to the earlier Mullard tubes. I think they were imports relabelled.
