Tubes currently in production

Nevod · 31st July 2008, 10:03 AM

Is there a reliable information on which tube factories are still running, and which tubes do they produce?

Seems that Saint-Petersburg Svetlana factory, JJ in Slovakia, Saratov factory plus some Chinese factories are here, but I can't find what exactly each factory produces. Is there any other way than visiting the factories themselves?

Thanks! Good info, though really not too recent.. Why these factories don't have websites..

Some of them do.

In the US Svetlana tubes are now sold as "Winged C" or SED. New Sensor bought the rights to the Svetlana name in America and the tubes they sell under that name are actually made in the Reflector Corp factory.

New Sensor is technically a distributor, not a manufacturer, but they carry much of what any of those factories make, as well as quite a bit of other stuff. Quite a few of those "brands" all come out of the Reflector Corp factory though.

Thanks! Now, it's some more direct data. But I'm afraid that New Sensor lists what it sells, not what is currently being made - you can't be completely sure. I'm most interested in SV572-160..
