Manley Labs as a company only started in 1993...(You can read about the corporate history here since everyone seems perpetually confused about it.)
Credit where credit is due: it was David Manley who caused that tube to get born and more importantly funded that tube to get born. I was luckily there to witness all that.
It was a big deal at the time as there had not been a new output tube design created in many, many years. And do not forget back then, the Russian factories were still basically hiding behind the iron curtain, the chinese tubes of the time were generally flyweight, and well, it was getting kinda scary. The GE plant had already closed or was just about to (can't remember) and we all were almost faced with a severe tube crisis.
It took real vision, guts, and hundreds of thousands of dollars to make that tube happen, and for that, give credit where credit is due.
Cheers, EveAnna Manley, Manley Labs
