Think Its Possible To Order Tubes From the Ukraine?

I was skeptical too. So i did some research: confirmed.

But dont get too confident. The USA is #27. Maybe think about ordering from Denmark (#1).

But given the fact that Ukraine has been a pawn and playground for Russia since Peter the Great and before, this is not a big surprise, not should it be placed on the current admin's shoulders.

Frankly, if we can support the remaining industry in Ukraine, I'd be all in.

I also agree we need to re-shore much manufacturing and process technology.

Just sayin''''

I have ordered about $500 in tubes from Ukraine since the war started. I was not expecting to get all the tubes, and figured it would take a while to make it out of the country, if at all.

To my surprise, I have received all the tubes, to date (they shipped through Kiev, which might explain why they made it...).

I was surprised some of those amazing 6N5P's actually got here faster than some 7027a tubes I ordered from a big retailer in Germany.

You take your chances, but I would order from Ukraine again in a heartbeat.

Well said Comrade Teo. What's the weather like in St Petersburg today?
