Dai,

Wonder what they are, ya think Shanghai Tianhe Cap Co? I use to get RFT EL34's from ARS in the late eighties for cheap...

they seem to be the Chinese maker that came up in that thread. See some black sleeved ones with the maker brand (TMC, I think it was) but they may have been a shorter-looking(?--I forget exactly). I wish I knew more about Chinese parts manfs., since on some of the stuff, the price is certainly right (i.e. low), but I have no clue about their reputation, who they supply, etc.
