I knew something was up when it took 5 months, then they lost my tube. And nobody knew what was going on...or was answering emails.

Have they addressed your lost tube?
If I read correctly they are going to continue to build and sell new tubes, just no more rebuilding.

Seems like soon the only choice is going to be solid state.

Thanks for sharing

They sent me another one and took of $100 from the price.
Its a shame..it was such a great business.

Honestly never heard of them until now. Econco was it.
