It was awhile ago, but I bought a JAN Philips 5v4g from Charlie of Vacuum Tube Valley (RIP). Evidently it was actually a "mislabeled" 5AR4, not by him, but Philips or whoever stamped the box. Whether intentional or not I don't think anyone ever confirmed. I remember there was some discussion here about it, but I can't seem to find the thread.

I don't use the preamp it was installed in any longer, but when I had it repaired the tech said it was still in perfect condition 10 years after I bought it.
