I think most/all of the 3-500's are made in China now. One can still
find some Eimac's that may still be good after all these years. The
near 40 year old one I have may still be good. Need to put it in my
L-4B some times and see. This is what we get for outsourcing so much of
our manufacturing to China. I've said for many years that that was a
bad idea. At one time Amperex tubes were made in France. Don't know if
that's still the case. I'm thinking no. Maybe we can talk CPI/Eimac
into making 3-500's here again? Probably not, but might be worth a try.

Yes, thanks to the new tariffs we can expect tube prices to go through the

There will be a price increase SOON. RF Parts apparently will no longer be

Hmmm...bad news, as I thought China was the *only* one making 3-500s. If not
China, who else?
