IS the US Manufacturing Vacuum Tubes Again? Urban Legend or...
Somewhere (on the net) I stumbled across a website stating something
like this: That, due to the demand (although limited) there was indeed a US Manufacturer, that has begun Manufacturing (in a small area of their production facility) some of the more popular tubes on an "as needed" limited basis. (batch production) This manufacturer (of course I do not remember the company's name) was one of the original tube manufacturers, (possibly RCA, Zenith, etc) and that they were testing the market (very prudent). Now, this story has all of the markings of an urban legend, BUT, if it is indeed true, then that is a major plus for tube aficionados. Yes? If anyone has any information about such a company, I would sure like to know more of the details, and possibly a url. Thanks, Marko |

Thanks, Marko I believe Aspen Pitman of Groove Tubes is reproducing a GE 6L6 on a limited basis? |

Thanks, Marko WE is again making 300B tubes; they wheeled the old guys in from the old folks homes, saying "you not finished yet buster...." They are the most expensive 300B around.... Patrick Turner. According to the order form at http://www.westernelectric.com/web_order_form.pdf they cost $360.00 each. r -- Nothing beats the bandwidth of a station wagon filled with DLT tapes. |
