Re: [Amps] Western Electric

Agreed, Leigh. However, in my answer to this, I pointed out that the 
Amateur Radio Community also has an interest in tube technology, and 
that the tubes you mentioned from off-sources are often of poor quality. 
I think some of the Western Electric interest is likely related to 
geo-political concerns. Off=shore supplies could dry up overnight. 
Perhaps we can help Western Electric understand better the markets that 
exist.
