Charles Whitener President of Western Electric, has announced that the WE 300B electron tube will re-enter production this year, in time for its 80th Anniversary. The last Western Electric 300-B was manufactured in 1988 and since then they have become as rare as hen’s teeth.
The famous triode was developed at Bell Labs in 1933 in the form of its predecessor, the 300A, which was modified, patented, and then produced at many historic works facilities beginning in 1938. The 300B has journeyed from the original New York tube shops, to the Hawthorne Works, Allentown Works, Kansas City Works, then the Huntsville Works.
The new 300B’s will be priced at $1299 per matched pair or $599 for a single. They will also be available in quads and octets. Shipping is expected September 1st, 2018.

Replica 300B Review
30년만의 재생산이군요. 이 소식을 접하는 순간 떠오르는 생각이 '작년에 Psvane 300B 안지르기를 잘 했네...' 입니다. 20년 후인 100주년에도 또 생t산할 가능성이 있다고 보여지는군요. 20년 후엔 제가 살아 있을 지, 계속 앰프를 만들지 모르니, 이번 가을에 300B 핑게삼아 미국 다녀와야겠습니다.
