What happened to Ei?


Hello everyone, I'm looking for some Ei 6CA7 "fat bottle" tubes and can't find any anywhere! What has happened to this tube/company?

EI factory that produces tubes has not been bomb - the city of Nis, where the factory is, was bomb. Afterwards, WE bought the factory but in the contract WE commits to invest and extend the production of the tubes. When the contract has been implemented, WE decided to move the factory elsewehere (I do not know where but I assume in the US). That generated the conflict with the employees and with the syndicate. Now they have the legal battle ...

Ei is though working but not with the full power. The last shipment was made to Jadis - Ei delivered KT90's to Jadis.

But it seems, although the factory is working, that the production is not on full power and that there are a lot of problems there. In the Ei shops in Belgrade, for example, it is not possible to buy any Ei tubes for months now ...
Thanks for the update Dejanm.

The EI EL84 tubes I purchased 4-5 years ago were a good match with a couple of 1950's/1960's Pilot amps I own (similar sound to vintage Amperex Holland EL84's, just a bit lighter overall).
