INPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT MESH TUBES

We have to point out here, we have seen sellers offering what they say "mesh tubes" from China, which are no mesh tubes at all.

The word MESH means woven Metal wire, and there is no other meaning. However this is a very difficult process for electron tubes, and Chinese factories do not have this process for this.

They now use metal plates such as from color TV pictures masks, that have many small holes lasered into it. Indeed on first sight it has the optics of a mesh anode. However this material does not have the mechanical damping proportions that is so typical for woven mesh. We do not say these are bad tubes, or anything like that. However we seriously protest against the use of the word MESH for this, because this is simple not what it is.

So with some sellers if they say it's mesh tubes, but they sell you punched plates instead, you are being fooled.

 

The below picture is a EML 2A3 mesh. You can clearly see the anode is made of..... METAL WIRE

THIS and only this is MESH
