Our aim is to produce high quality vacuum tubes at an affordable price right here in Great Britain where the best engineers are today, still hungering after the reliability and classic sound they once produced. The process is complex as you can see from this public information film from the 1940s.

Brimar thermionic products is the result of the frustration of not being able to purchase high quality valves at a reasonable price. Formed from ‘The Great British Valve Project’ we have used the expertise of many engineers who have provided us with their preferred list of thermionic tubes.

Interesting, did they buy some old gear from Czech Republic and bring back to UK?

Im just hoping they don’t do what new WE is doing with “we only want to make 300B for now”.

Was going to take a risk and buy a set of 6SN7 tubes from them but

"We are unable to ship into the USA and Canada at this time. Please see our FAQ for further information."

Probably for the best, I have too many tubes already.

Digging a little further and they may be selling re-branded while trying to spin up their own production in UK sometime in late 2022/2023?

Their proposed/future PX4 price = ~$600. There are a lot of TBDs, the link to the "Great British Valve Project" turns up a blank page. :(

Oh this link works: https://brimaruk.com/menugbvp/great-british-valve-project-2/

Dang, so these are just rebrands till they get their equipment up and running? I will have to wait and see what they come up with.

Yes, I think that is what is happening. (Not a well-funded start-up but a bootstrap effort.)
