M-OV's first indirectly-heated HT rectifiers were the MU12 and MU14. These were in fact the same valve but only a minority of each production batch were good enough to withstand the full rating when tested. These few were labeled MU14 but the 'also-rans' (initially the large majority) were labeled MU12 and sold against a reduced specification (350 V).
