In Reply to: RE: The End of the World? Nah, Just the New WE 300B! posted by Gerry E. on March 21, 2020 at 09:25:45
2000s when they were made in Kansas.
IIRC, got them from PentaLabs.
Good 300B, over the first year or two one became noisy and Charlie replaced it with a new 'B-Stock' tube (fine with me, who cares about cracked bases) but it did take a while then a second became noisy as well and by that time Charlie was out of the business, but...
I had gotten is phone number some how so I kept at him till I received another NEW replacement.
Still using the replacement up until I stopped using the amps two years ago.
If I ever crank them up again, WE 300B, if as good sounding as the ones he make in Kansas, would go again.
OTOH, I heard that the reason the stopped making 300Bs in Kansas years ago is that he made tubes until the supplies to make them ran out and there was no way to get more because the stuff isn't made any more.
Hope not.
Follow Ups:
If so, my guess is that the new ones will be sourced from Shuguang Replica Series.

Penta Labs distributed a lot of 'industrial' tubes back then and still today.
