    If that's an SB-200, it's gonna get even lonelier when it comes time for new tubes—no one makes the 572B tube anymore. I almost bought one last year but ended up passing on the deal when I discovered that.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Really? Oh, nutz. That was a good, solid amplifier tube for decades.

    Referring to the "What Would You Do With Five Trillion Dollars?" thread: I'd buy all the tooling and equipment from the now-shuttered Svetlana tube factory in Russia, move it all to the US and start manufacturing again.

    That, and add all the tooling and equipment that Taylor Tubes had purchased from Eimac.
