In Reply to: New U.S. Tube manufacturer? RCH Labs. Is this real? posted by notben on May 3, 2015 at 19:45:34:
A few years ago a friend of mine asked me what I though the market would be for new, made in the USA, manufactured 6L6.
He was looking at buying the equipment that was once Aspen Pittman's.
Pittman had sold that gear (along with the company "Groove Tube") to Fender and then Fender was looking to sell.
It is my understanding that the 6L6 was the only tube that Groove Tube actually manufactured.
I told my friend that I didn't see a way to compete financially with the foreign tube makers.
Was that good advice? I don't know but it was my honest opinion.
