This JAN-Sylvania 5751 tube has grey plates and double mica.  This tube was made in the late 1970's to 1980's for the US military and are packaged in original boxes.

Special Note: The 5751 is not a true 12AX7, but is often used in place of a 12AX7. They generally have 70% of the gain of a 12AX7. If you have gain to spare using a 5751 tube will greatly improve your overall tone without making your preamp excessively clean. You can learn more about this on our tone tweak info page.

Great example of a real 5751WA military valve.

This is the longer plate version of the W JAN type 5751s. These are the real deal, ruggedized suited for vibration, high G shock loads, and varying filament voltages found in mobile equipment. These will dial back the gain in unruly amps, and are not merely weak versions of a 12AX7, like current production tubes. They cost more, but they usually last long enough to pay for themselves. Until you try a NOS 5751, don't judge. These are a nice standard to judge from, and make a nice baseline for comparison, as well as a great tube for any amp.
