In Reply to: Do you have any idea when we are going to see the new production WE 274b? posted by J-O on February 25, 2004 at 17:25:45:
it's only been promised for 5 years now.Western Electric at this time is dead. Not in business. Not producing diddly. Not answering the phone or emails. Their only product, the 300B, has not been produced since 2002. There are people who have been waiting two years for their warranty claims to be honored with no end in sight.
Whether or not they ever return is open to speculation. Their extensive history of not being able to actually do anything they announce is not promising
