Are you all aware about this project underway looking to begin Valve manufacture in the U.K? I am excited.... Any of you know more in depth info about this? Any of you know any of this mob?

Re: The Great British Valve Project

I remember you mentioned this in another thread. I’m pretty excited about it too. Brimar, at one point was manufacturing Mullards if I’m not mistaken. I think I have a NOS mullard labeled Brimar in my collection. I’d have to go look to be certain.
Any idea if they own the original tooling for the original Mullards?(I didn’t read your link yet...I’ll have to do that later)

Yeah, they do. Their page mentions they want to bring together those machines with 21st century tech to make modern valves.

I read it as a work in progress. Relying on a lot of volunteer effort, etc. I hope they manage to make it work.

Seems like someone tries this every few years.
The materials are pretty much non starter for environmental rules as I understand it.

If they do get it off the ground, the first few batches will likely be crap.

HEre's hoping though, but I reckon we'll be discussing 50 dollar preamp tubes.
