Exactly. Previously not an issue with the number of tubes, but an issue with making a market in tubes. The internet made vacuum tubes available. People had horded tubes and still do. In the old days they just sat because no garage sale would bring any money in tubes and no one was walking into the old electronic supply warehouse out in the middle of nowhere.

Now that there is the internet, you have every potential customer for tubes at your garage sale. Also, trade with Russia and China picked up (started in ernest) in the 1980s and 1990s. These are about the only places where new tubes are made now and those places were not an option in 1975.
