Mazda company made tubes under the Mazda and Brimar names, as well as
Ediswan. FYI, Mazda was a British company for those who don't know, and
in the 1920's Ediswan and Mazda were major makers of radio tubes.
Ediswan being the world's first radio tube maker (A joint efort started
in 1883 by Edison Eletric Light Co and Swan Electric Lighting Co.)
Many of Mazda's later tubes were made in French factories and are
excellent. I have some of the 6V6GT's someone mentioned, and they are
very nice sounding, and extremely durable. They are early production
made for the war dept labeled "services plublic guerre". Guerre meaning
war in French.
In fact one of the earliest Mazda 12ax7's I've ever seen was a Mazda made in
France. It has the exact same plate as the first Amperex 12ax7 (I'm
talking before Bugle Boy). This Amperex tube is very rare and may not
have even been made in Holland, though the label says it was. The
getter ring of the Mazda is unmistakably Telefunken. It's very nice auto parts.
