There will be no more Chinese 12AX7 tubes made. Factory space was
leased out to Nabisco or somebody. All the machinery was left out in
the weather and ruined. Worldwide demand for 12AX7s is estimated at
over 300,000 a year of which the Chinese supplied over 1/2. They were
not making the kind of money they wanted to on the 12AX7. This info
>from a reliable source at Svetlana.


Boogie bought the last 10,000 that New Sensor had. Better get used to
paying some higher prices for these. My wholesale suppliers have ALL
raised the price of chinese 12AX7s.


MOJO is now getting $5 ea. They only have 300. Ruby the same. New
Sensor has raised the wholesale price of the medium quality 12AX7WB to
over $4 each wholesale!


Are we seeing the start of overall higher prices for tubes in
general?? Is this window of great tube prices from these countries
finally closing?


Better stock up!!!! Bill
