Western Electric Gold Lions????


The Western Electric web site (wttp://www.westernelectric.com/products/kt88.html) says they are preparing to manufacture Genalex Gold Lion KT88's! I don't know if anyone can re-create that tube, but I suspect W.E. has as good a chance as anyone to get it right. The prices they list are exorbitant, though, and there aren't actually any available yet.

Does anyone know any more details about this, i.e., how did they purchase the rights, will the tubes be any good, etc?

I assume it will be for repro's, because there's probably realistically no way to offer matched quads, much less octets, of NOS. Time will tell.
