Just a bit more to say and I'm done..."Um, when did I knock EH tubes?"
You didn't directly knock EH, and I didn't say that you did.
"I am sorry that Russia is such an awful place to do business."
Mike's assault occurred HERE, in the USA - not in Russia. He was forced into bankruptcy HERE by thugs, not in Russia.
"Tubes are produced in these "third world" countries because we have the EPA and actually pay salaries."
True, wage costs are lower.
"Why do you think that Westrex needs to charge as much as they do for the WE Branded 300b."
Because it's a boutique piece with a high markup, and a low production volume. The low volume drives the cost way up.
"And I am sorry; your argument on how Matthews used the Svetlana brand on the Sovtek (thank you for the correction) tubes did not increase the value of that brand"
Paraphrasing your words - when did I say it increased the value? All I said was they weren't just rebranded Sovteks.
Whether you like them or don't like them, whether you like Mike Matthews' businesss plan or not, etc. is all tangental to the discussion. The bottom line for me is this - your earlier post clearly inferred that the Tung-Sol tube line was just relabeled "prettied up" tubes. I did not wish to let that stand unchallenged unless you had specific information to support it.
