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.

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.

Buellrider,

No judgements from me. I have been buying ammunition at a steady rate for the last 3 years. 

Many seemingly intelligent people have been srockpiling ammuntion in preparation for one hundred of the last zero invasions. I guess being extra prepared makes them feel good?

I spent $750 on glass in the last couple of weeks.....   no way my gear will be boat anchors in my lifetime....     fortunately I paid pre embargo prices.   I bought a replacement set of tubes for my headphone amp, 2 sets for my mono amps, 2 sets for my pre., a back up spare 12at7 for my back up preamp.....  yesterday I bought 4 pair input tubes for a 300b I having built for a total of 8 pair....   8 rectifiers.... should have all the bases covered for a while.
