Hello all!
I'm a long time lurker here but posting for the first time. Am hoping to pick your brains here regarding some Dario Miniwatt EF86.
I'm based in south east Asia and a local vendor has these for sale.

From looking online, Darios seem to have a mesh plate and not "solid" plates like this. Wondering if any experts here will be able to shed some light on these?
Thank you so much!

There is no "mesh plate" ef86, what you see is a screen that is outside the plate.Hello all!

Hi Petertub!
Thank you! Still trying to familiarise myself with tube anatomy. So going by the image in the link.

Will you say it's a genuine Dario EF86?
Thanks!
Mike

Hi everyone! Is this the factory code mentioned in the thread?

In theory they would have been made using Philips tooling to Philips specification, maybe even using Philips-supplied (or approved) raw materials. In practice, who knows? The people who know are mainly quite old, probably not online; others who knew are no longer here.
Some other Ei valves seem to be highly regarded e.g. their copy of a Telefunken ECC83 - they seemed to be able to borrow tooling from several Western makers. I don't know about BEL.

So it could be made by Ei, using Telefunken technology, then sold under a Philips brand. This sort of thing went on towards the end of the valve era. One might almost call it a genuine fake?
Look for the Ei mark: a semicircle with a dot. If they made it for Philips then they should have put this in the factory code.
