Re: RCA tubes back in USA production?

Shame how the govt red tape chokes out so many things here. Its like they are purposely driving things overseas. Id think they would open up some to allow US industries to thrive

Some of the red tape exists for a reason.

Air quality caused by industrial pollution in Beijing between this and last year brought about conditions similar to living in a nuclear winter:

Re: RCA tubes back in USA production?

I would say you are probably 100% correct.
My point was, or should have been, that when people were buying GT tubes with the GE nomenclature (I bought some 6L6...I thought they were pretty good) ...they were under the impression that GT was cranking out these tubes in the USA...and that was never the case.
Also of note is the fact that "The EPA" has standards for a reason....none of those regulations come down on Tubes any harder than any other toxic industry.
You ever read the MSDS for a gallon of Latex House Paint.? You would never put the stuff in your home if you saw what was in there.
