The German company BTB is now the official partner (and sales point) of the American Western Electric for the European market.
As a delightful anniversary gift (the company is celebrating its 75th anniversary), BTB can now call itself the official partner of Western Electric for the European market. Through their website, you can easily purchase tubes from this legendary brand. The American company Western Electric was founded in 1869 and relaunched in 1996. The tubes currently being sold include those from the famous 300B series. Manufactured entirely according to the old ‘recipe’, you can revive old times in modern equipment. Additionally, the Western Electric 12AX7 and ECC83 tubes are (almost…) being produced again. Starting in 2025, you can order them brand new once more. Whether to give old classics a new lease on life or to use them in modern high-end designs, it’s reassuring for tube enthusiasts to know that the foundation of their enjoyment is still (or again) being manufactured by various producers.
