It's a shame with the Valve Amp firmly back in fashion world wide & many companys making them as fast as they can, that a
forward thinking buyer did not jump in with some cash or maybe the Government could have helped out.
However this is England & fingers have benn burnt too many
times I guess.
I think they started with the wrong tubes, the KT88 & EL34 is where the money is, people will pay out for those, but to expect people to pay £40 ($60) for a 12AX7 of an unknown
type, well they must have been on something!
However a Very Sad Day...............
