As I stated earlier, when that equipment was purchased by Pittman and the plans were being made to construct this tubemore than 5 years ago IIRC, ASpen Pittman was very upfront about how the process was going to work. He hid nothing....the final assembly is in China. THe ad doesn't claim total U.S. production.
IF the tube was made totally in the U.S. for $48 a pair, then the NOS prices for REAL U.S. production tubes from yesteryear would not be steadily clmibing upward and upward and upward, right?
PErsonal thought...if the tube is as good as jonkay1 says, then it is the first Chinese production tube that I would find usable for my purposes. YMMV
