Anyone seen these in real life?

Did these ever make it into production?

No, but it's a nice looking tube!

They also chose to make an actual pin-base like a traditional vacuum tube; not a trivial accomplishment. Time will tell if they have something that is manufacturable and reliable.

The artifacts from the web site date from Jan 2021, so it is almost 2.5 years old.

I filled out their contact form and received this:

---------------------------------------------

Thanks for your interest.

Currently the project is on a low note due to other activities and because we've not a stable customer for tubes (as we don't want to put much effort in customer support, marketing, etc.)

So if you are interested in buying on a regular base (but smaller batches) our tubes let us know and we can discuss pricing or possible partnership for when we will pick up production again. (Our pricing is 145eur/tube but if we can deliver in batches at regular base this can be discussed)

I am somewhat wary of the 'don't want to put much effort in customer support.....'
