Are my older Svetlana KT88's Svets or Winged C's?


Hello, I've got 9 older (e.g. 2002 or 2003) Svetlana KT88's. They are marked: "Svetlana Electron Services Inc, KT88, Made in Russia" and have codes such as 0012, 0010,0009, 0110.

I need two matched quads to try out KT88's in my VTL 450's. To match these existing tubes, I'd like to know if I should be looking for a set of Svetlanas or Winged C's. I am just trying out the KT88's, so I would like to find some used tubes (each can be biased individually on the VTL's).

Thanks very much, Peter S

Peter, what was the out come of your KT-88's? I have the recent discontinued VTL-450's and planning to retube with Wing "C" tubes. I am also researching the Reissued Gold Lions (New Sensor). Do you have any info.
