Say what? Matsushita didn't own Mullard. Philips owned Mullard. Matsushita wasn't owned by Philips either, despite rumors of that.Another internet myth is that Matsushita took the Mullard Blackburn tooling after they shut down making EL34's. Baloney. At some point, Matsushita contracted with Philips to get tooling that was the same that Mullard was using at Blackburn, but this was done while Mullard was making EL34's. Matsushita's did start being made in 1981 after Mullard shut down making EL34's. Matsu's go back to the 70's and into the 60's.
Matsushita has contractual agreements with Philips......but they didn't own them and vice versa.
