This is just a heads-up notice about an article on the manufacture of audio tubes in Mother Russia. The news is not good. New York Times requires registration to read their articles but you can always lie about who you are so don't take the requirement too seriously.

The link below is directly to the article but if it doesn't work, then the article is in the Tuesday, May 16th issue, world business section and the title is "From Russia, With Dread."
