Hello,

Well, I received an email response from one Charles Whitener at the Westrex Corporation. He confirms that WE is indeed working on a new 12AX7 tube. Here is a copy of the email I sent and the response he gave:

Hello,

I see that you folks have recently acquired the electron tube assets of Ei and was wondering: are you planning to produce a 12AX7 tube? I have been waiting for a new production 12ax7 that isn't manufactured in China or some former Soviet Union satellite where high quality is perhaps a secondary consideration. The thought of having an American company once again producing the 12ax7 along with possibly several other types just warms the cockles of my heart. Please tell me it's true and if so, when can we expect the process to begin? Thanks for your time.

CW's response:

Yes we are working on it please watch our website.

While I would have liked a little more detail in the response, this is indeed a confirmation that a United States company will soon be in the business of making 12AX7's (and other types) once again. Can't wait!
