I did the same thing myself. I did some more research and it may all be for naught. Apparently, they have only made some small batches and the poor economic times might prevent them for doing a major tube run.
I also found out that the tubes were really expensive and that the company has yet to release any test data on their tubes (all of the audiophiles are screaming for it).
But then on the flip side, I read were they were going to start making EL34's and EL84's. That would be great as long as they aren't $150 per pair. If this all comes about, it will have a great effect on the price of NOS tubes on EBAY. It will cause a price ceiling and that would be good for me. I paid $99 plus shipping for my EL34 Mullards. They both tested 100. I think the price will go down if Blackburn (Mullard) starts a major production of tubes. This should cause their prices to go down as well. If a guy can get a new UK 12AX7 for $30, then that's not too bad. The bottom line is that these are high quality tubes, not some Chinese piece of crap.
