Sad news is SED plant (Svetlana can't called themselves "Svetlana" in US anymore since name was bought by New Sensor) is prolly going under. So production of SED 6L6GC (winged =C=) is no more, as of now.

If you like this tube, maybe nice to scoop up a few off Ebay or tube sellers that still have stock. My favorite Svetlana 6L6GC are the ones made in the 1990's.

A genuine tragedy.

The winged C's were pretty good glass.

Hmmm. That explains the price jump per pair.

A safe assumption.

I'm on my first pair of 6L6s from SED now and like 'em,and now I hear this.
I had thought things were looking better for the foreign tube situation,I have used only NOS tubes till recently and thought I would try some,I have also tried the new Tung-Sol 5881s with good results.
I'm afraid the tube production in other countries can be hit or miss,I don't know,guess I will keep reading reviews on current production tubes and try different ones out since they're so much lower in price than NOS.
