All European valves! The American numbers are odd to me--the valves most certainly very familiar! Only Japanese set I think we saw with Euro valves was a Sanyo, those were pretty good as I recall...

I generally remembered them by the American numbers, fully knowing that they were European sourced.
Motorola was one USA firm that seemed to use a lot of European tubes a lot in the early 60's. They used two 300ma series strings in a series-parallel arrangement. The 27GB5 was an example, along with the tubes previously mentioned.
