I'm restoring a WE<br />Mirrophonic complete system in the UK (86/87/PS/x/o ETC ETC) and I've been looking for the 284 tubes. Someone told me there is an RCA 845 equiv - maybe you know it ?<br />Cheers<br />Laurence <br />lensi@mac.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-765294472642092322.post-70700657476754159242011-04-08T13:32:30.609-04:002011-04-08T13:32:30.609-04:00The smaller boxes were probably part of a bulk-pac...The smaller boxes were probably part of a bulk-pack, would be my guess. Bigger box = better for these, given they have filaments the size of cat hair...(!)<br /><br />Speaking of boxes and 284Ds my favorite ebay WE score was a pair of 284Ds, mislabeled as 838s and packed in some RCA 838 "world map" boxes. $50 for the 2 284Ds and a nice pair of 838s too, plus 4 world map boxes. Can't complain.Ednoreply@blogger.com
