It sure seems like a market ripe for an American boutique or niche operation.

What is needed is for someone to make Richardson an offer they cant refuse and walk out with all the Cetron tooling.....paid for or not. I hate that outfit.

That and know how to make better tubes than the Chinese .

It ain't easy, running a tube line.  Charlie Whitener did a good job buying the name and re-creating the WECo 300B, than went belly up before the payback came.  I guess all the machinery is still down South, languishing.

Every once in awhile I have these dreams about what I would do if I were a multi-billionair. I was actually thinking about this today. Maybe take 10 or 20 million and grab the few remaining tube guru's and buy a shuttered US tube plant and make tubes that people are still using and need. If it broke even or lost money no worry. I could pump a million or two in every year.

Let me know when you become that billionaire you dream about.  I can then apply for a job at that tube plant you're going to buy.

But, don't wake me up till if happens.
