JJ 5AR4 - EH 5U4GB

Jim, hi. All of this makes me wonder, if JJ can execute an excellent 300B why the heck can't they make a good 5AR4? I just don't get it. If JJ can make a reliable 5AR4 or 5U4 (perhaps 274) they would sell scads of them. What prevents them from doing this?

As has been mentioned, good OS or NOS 5U4 are readily available. The Sovtek 5AR4 is reliable. I don't like it better than NOS or OS. If you want old production 5AR4 be prepared to pay through the nose.
