May I add also Pinnacle and Trigon, at least here in Europe they were
quite popular marketers...

Anybody knows the histroy of Haltron?

Were they made by Brimar, Mullard?

Haltron was a tube marketer rather than a manufacturer,
similar to Xaerix, National (OK, National did make
SOME things) , IEC, Calvert Electronics ("Gold Monarch"),
and Realistic.

Haltron sold tubes from all over. As with other marketers,
if you're smart and observant enough to be able to determine
who actually made the tube, you may find some hidden
treasures amongst Haltron tubes. 30 years ago, Haltron
didn't give a flying hoot who made what tube so long as
the price was right, and back then, not too many cared
so long as it wasn't WE or Eimac. Of course the reverse
applies, too, they might be Eastern European or Japanese,
but if the price is right, they might still be a good deal.
