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!

Thanks @hilde45  great news. I’ve submitted my form. Seems there are two similar threads here. 

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

Unlikely they will reduce the cost of 300b, why would they? They are selling them at $1500 pr no problem.
