Toilet Paper to Vacuum Tubes


Two years ago - March 2020 we were hoarding toilet paper. Fast forward to March 2022 - we are hoarding vacuum tubes. Oh, how times change.

@nonoise - I thought I was the only one who did that!! 🤣. Tube or not tube, that is the question....

It's  amazing how many people hoarded toilet paper. Some people would hoard up to 5 years worth. When the supply came back to normal, many hoarders tried to return the toilet paper for a refund. Most were told if you hoarded 5 years of toilet paper,  you now PERMANENTLY own 5 years of toilet paper!

Have you seen the price of toilet paper recently? Maybe they were smart. Hard to say how long it will take things to turn around. Probably not as soon as we would like

At some point in the not too distant future, it seems rational that a few equipment manufacturers will band together to create a facility to build vacuum tubes.  It isn't rocket science (it's actually pre-rocket science).  Those who choose to use vacuum tubed equipment can pay the price of their decision.  

That's not to say that there will be a wide variety of tube types, just that a handful of tube types would be created to satisfy demand in those manufacturers' electronics offerings. 

Remember what happened to vinyl production to satisfy demand.
