Ah yes...I am also from the era when vacuum tubes ruled the earth! I
had 12AX7's in my Dynaco stereo 'pas 3' pre-amp and currently in
numerous tube guitar amps. 12AX7's are also known as ECC83.

Basic 12AX7 specs (not complete):

Used as Phase Inverters or twin resistance coupled amplifiers in radio
equipment. Also used in stereo and musical instrument amplifiers.
