Good luck! True Valvo made in Germany long plate Valvo tubes go for hundreds of dollars a piece. They are very difficult to acquire.
Most of the early Valvo's I've seen had large slanted O getters.
Heres a 1957.

You see many holy grail tubes listed from Vietnam. I do not trust those sellers personally.

Maybe after you get 100+ posts under your belt. -
These are the rarest and hardest to find Valvo ECC82's. Even in the links Ivan posted, they don't show the tube codes. I don't purchase tubes without knowing the tube codes.
I have a quad of the D* K6* Valvo's one tube is a bit noisy. I've been trying to replace the noisy one but have had no luck in finding a reasonably priced single or a reliable seller.
In my listening comparison they sound so similar to the 1956/57- K62 D6* of which I have (2) quads, I sort of stopped my hunt. Same construction from 1956 & 57 but the codes are on the side glass not between the PINs.
Still outrageously priced, but a bit easier to find. I did all my tube buying about 12-15 years ago. I can't believe how much prices have sky rocketed for the old tubes (supply and demand). Glad I have my stash and no plans to off load anything at this point.

Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it.
