Realistic tubes were Radio Shack's own brand. Despite their gold clad pins, they are not highly thought of among technicians. Including me. However, I have just come into several and posted them. They have been thoroughly checked and tested and I'm confident of the ones I chose to offer for sale. Try them - they're priced lower than their name brand counterparts. Naturally our full warranty applies. Writing is usually yellow. Occasionally some are US made, but mostly from Japan. They rarely have a date or EIA code.
