Rossville Works

 
 

Continuing original American manufacturing

Here, many hands work together to make a product that transcends time—the electron tube. One tube in particular, the type 300B triode, has captivated music lovers for decades in their search for sonic purity and analog perfection. In 2018, eighty years after the 300B was originally commissioned, we established this works facility, dedicating an entire wing to its assembly. The Rossville Works is a preservation effort, the home of tube sound in the 21st century.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Quality through and through

Our enduring relationship with quality is sealed into each tube we ship, from our warehouse to your front door.

 
 
 

High Standards

We’re supported by highly trained line operators and machinists, obsessed with meeting quality standards instituted long ago.

 
 
 
 
 
 

Original craftsmanship

The finished product remains unaltered for over 80 years. But, we’ve made key updates to machinery to ensure clean, green, and safe assembly.

Good tubes are made by good people.
— Bernie Magers, Plant Manager - Kansas City Works (1959-1988)

 

Work in progress

The Rossville Works was built to sustain the 300B. But that’s not all. Our spacious facility allows for additional tube types, assembly of a new single-ended amplifier, and more as we look to the future.
