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!

I replied, and their survey is missing key tubes.  In the text box I reiterated the need for two output tubes and one input/driver tube not listed with traction past two years.  Prefer to buy all of these made in America if they don't get too greedy on price.

They could probably fill up that extra production capacity by reducing the price on the 300Bs.
