Their most expensive 6L6 is $125 not $200. They sell another for $85.

At any price?
No dealers listed on their web site and no ordering information either.
Rather not bother them with a call as I have no need for a 6L6 at any price.
If they start making 300B's, I'm all in.
in the form of "Ad to Cart". You must be looking somewhere else.
All I saw initially was the "Contact to Order- 775-410-0186" at I would rather not bother them with questions as I have no interest in 6L6's at any price.
Would be quite interested in what others might have to say should they audition a pair.
That said, if they start making 300B's it might be worth a drive up there to check them out, with cash in hand, of course. ;-)
Not trying to be difficult, but I just wondered what you might consider a better option for them to make?
A US made 300B would be a start.
I find very little info on their site and the term '6L6' cover a multitude of sins, as the particular tube went through many iterations from 6L6 through to 6L6WGB with G, GB, GC, and WGA thrown in for good measure.
Even the WE 350B (made by NU?) was considered my many the best of the breed and a 6L6 type. If either of these new 6L6's is made with a true round plate like the 350B, then anyone with an amp that can use them should be on the phone with them right now!
The idea of a US made 300B is fine, but the market for the more in demand 6L6 makes a lot more sense for their first tube as long as it is actually a better mouse trap. The 300B has already been tried several times, including resurrecting the old Westrex staff and I don't think that even worked very well.
They're trying to build a business, and it certainly makes more sense to target the larger market first. It's not like they would be selling thousands of 300Bs a month, while they might be able to do that with 6L6 variants even with the off shore competition, which you also have with a 300B.
I'm still using them after 10+ years.
Charlie tried to move the factory and seems to have lost the people who knew how to build it.
Never got it going again.
But still, folks are used to paying Big Bucks for the 300B. 6L6's? Not so much I would guess.
Now a re-issued or otherwise cloned WE 350B just might be a different story.
