And that is a sad fact. It means one factory can crank out tons of tubes of dubious quality. I guess I was yet again born at the wrong time...
We just have to make the best of what we got now as far as what's left of the NOS and be glad guys like Marty help us noob's out(speaking of myself).

I've been roll'n tubes between 2 amps the last couple of days I need a break today. So does the family he he. Hav'n fun but its work too. I'm gonna be mailing some new production pres to Marty. Can't wait to hear his reactions on them.

He pretty much lost me with the tongue thing right off the bat though to be honest.
