Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

Fender owns them now.Maybe Morinix can verify this or not.

When I used to talk to them at Groove tubes,I was told that the 6CA7GE and the 6L6GE were made in the Sylmar California plant at first and the materials were mostly from a 1963 melt out for the plate and cathode materials that came with the machinery out of the old Kentucky plant.
Later they moved production to China but supposedly kept some of the US material according the ads we looked at that I posted.

Now..I was also told their other tubes that were designed by Groove tubes and they were built in Russia on GT machinery or setup at the Reflecktor plant..One was the KT66hp which was a 550v tube.

The other was an E34LS which was a 30 watt tube made at the JJ plant for Groove tubes..The E34L was a 25 watt tube that belonged to JJ.
According to Myles,the guy was that handled the Ebay sales,told me this.
