CV4069=12AU7 Brimar UK NOS with flying leads (no pins)

21) CV4069=12AU7 Brimar UK "Black Plates" 1969 NOS (flying leads instead of pins) 


CV4069 Brimar=12AU7 with "flying leads":

Type CV4069 made by STC/Brimar of England.  Internally, they are
identical to the Brimar CV4003=12AU7/ECC82, normal size and shape,
but they don't have any pins!  Instead, they have nine wire leads.
I have read an old spec sheet on these and the story is that they
thought these valves were so reliable that they would NEVER need
replacing.
