"Pearly & Mike"

Anyone heard of Haltron tubes?



** Eeeyep.


Anybody knows the history of Haltron?



** Haltron are definitely "history".

** LOL.

Famous brand UK made valves were worth a lot more if NOT branded Haltron.

AFAIK, Haltron ( = Hall Electric Ltd ) imported crummy valves from
western Europe, mainly West Germany, an re-badged them.

Same sort of operation as other dodgy re-boxing operations like "Trigon"
and " Teonex".

The boxes were always labelled with "London England" or similar - because
that was were their warehouse was located.

Big Joke !

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.

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