Western Electric looking for consumer feedback to make new tubes! This was brought to my attention a few days ago, and I’ve filled out the form stating that I would love to see mid-priced 6SN7s, 5U4Gs, EL34s, and KT88s from them. I’m not sure how long of a time-frame we’re looking at here, but it appears at the very least that Western Electric is interested in hearing from us! Please fill out the form and don’t forget to put down what tubes you would like to see from them, this could be a good thing!

Do they really need feedback? If the Russian production goes poof or buckles under demand, then the market needs big KT tubes first, then 6H30, then smaller power tubes. Small signal tubes would be nice, but old stock is still gonna last us a while there.
