I just received this email from the new Blackburn valve company the is in the old Mullard factory:
May I take this opportunity to wish you a Happy New Year and thank you for your interest in our new TechTubeTM valve technology.
As you may have read on the web site we launched the TechTubeTM brand back in September 2008 with a view to launching web sales of the product in October. Following very detailed, open and honest feedback from discerning end users at the launch the start of sales was postponed to allow our engineers time to rectify the few technical issues raised, namely valve to valve and within valve consistency, and microphony.
This rectification is taking longer than anticipated. As a consequence it is with regret that I have to inform you of the delay to the launch of the sales web site. The difficult decision has been taken to delay the opening of sales until the beginning of April 2009.
It should be remembered that our goal is to be selling a product that is better than the current manufactured product. Blackburn MicroTech Solutions, the Company behind the TechTubeTM brand, is what remains of the former Mullard Radio Valve works based in Blackburn so we have a strong heritage to uphold, so strong we named our first series after it!
We hope you understand our situation and ask for your patience.
With kind regards,
The TechTubeTM team.
PS> Below are some notes that I would like to reiterate:
The valve will cost £26.09 + VAT @ 15% + shipping if EU based
The valve will cost £26.09 + Duty + shipping if non-EU based
Shipping and Customs clearance will be via UPS courier
Ordering is by credit card off the web site
Larger volume requirements should be directed to andy.blades@blackburnmicrotech.com not ordered via the web site.
If anything is unclear please direct your questions to info@blackburnmicrotech.com
