...because I've bought from him a couple times in the past and always gotten exactly what I bid on. First time 6 Amperex/Mullard Holland 6DJ8's...the real thing. Second time 2 RCA Black Plate 12AX7, square getters...again...the real deal. Third time, a pair of Siemens 7308 gold pins...yet again...the real thing.I will say, however, that I havn't purchased from him in well over a year.
I found Lorenz to be very honest, polite and speedy.
Now I will say that I have seen evidnce of him possibly relabeling some later production Sylvania 6922's as Amperex PQ's, but I saw that the tube in the picture was not what I was interested in, so I didn't bid.
One poster refered to some "Haltrons" that look like Ruskies to him. While I'm not at all familiar with Haltron's, I would not even consider calling this a Russian made tube, after looking at the picture. Judging by the splash shield I would, however, consider the possibility that they're really some later production US tubes. Late 70's to early 80's or so, if I had to guess.
Anyhow...Just thought I'd drop my opinion in here for what it's worth.

Haltron is a British distributor of tubes (or as they call them,
valves). They never made anything, AFAIK, and I've seen
Haltron tubes that were quite old (like 1970's) that were
Russian manufacture.Richardson (as I noted in another post) owns the
Amperex brandname and does indeed sell 1980's
US Philips (nee Sylvania) manufacture as Amperex
"Bugle Boys".As far as packaging bulk-packed (ie:the tube factory
shipped them in egg crates for OEM use rather than
separate "jobber" boxes), I don't see any need to
put them in faked jobber boxes, they're just as NOS
in white boxes.....
