In Reply to: Are =C= winged C EL34s truly no longer being produced? posted by ElWoodrow on February 15, 2014 at 20:27:34:
About 18-24 months ago I got an email from someone who should know about such things, and he said the last container of glass tubes had just been received in the US from the St. Petersburg plant. After that there would be no more.
The SED/"winged C" tubes appear to be no more, other than what is left in dealer stock. I am completely out of EL34, a fellow got the last 3 singles from me last week. I have a quad of 6L6GC and some close 6550C pairs - and when they are gone that's it.
They are more expensive because of supply and demand, pure and simple.
