This page has a listing of boxes that passed through our hands, but we no longer have any to scan and show. If any are aquired, we will scan it and graduate it to it's own page.
I know there are many other brands out there, but our pictures and descriptions are limited to those that we actually had/have in our possession.

1. CERTIFIED. I think this may have been Western Auto's own brand before they started selling tubes under their own Western Auto name. Way back in 1961 when I first began fixing stuff out of my house, the nearest wholesaler was 30 miles away. I had not built up much stock yet and we had a WA store right around the corner. When I needed a tube quickly, there I went. They always worked OK. The box was orange with black lettering.
2. CETRON. An industrial tube brand. We got several types through Richardson for two-way radio and industrial servicing in the 70's and 80's. No boxes left to show.
3. CHANNEL MASTER. This is the same company that became relatively famous for TV antennas and had a line of Televisons. They're now a division of Avnet. The box was white with blue writing. They came out with the flood of Japanese tubes.
4. CORNELL. This was a wash house and re-brander. Actually did try some of their tubes in the early 70's. They were awful. Got a few thoroughly tested types listed as rebranded or used tubes, but no boxes. Although they branded the tubes with their name, they may have used Standard Brand boxes.
5. PENTA LABS. Although we have some Penta Labs tubes for sale, they all came in plain white boxes. We have no Penta branded boxes to show.
6. PERMA-TEST. I think this was a wash house/rebrander. Only had a few come through our hands when we bought out another dealer. They were in IEC boxes, but I don't think that means anything. Surprisingly (or maybe not surprisingly), they were all good. Never any problems.
7. PRO-COMM. This was supposedly a new venture by a known tube house (never knew who) to supply a quality first line tube in the 70's (or maybe 80's). A local wholesaler carried them for a while. They were good, but expensive. Only about 30-35% off list, no 60/40/10 or even 40/10. Box was blue and white.
8. SHARP. We were a Sharp servicenter for many years and acquired a few before everything went solid state. Can't recall the boxes, but they were colorful.
9. ZALYTRON. One of the many companies that put out flyers in the 60's and 70's. I think they're still active, but only selling complete units, not parts anymore. We tried some of their tubes, they were OK, nothing special, just general replacement line. The box was a colorful green.
