And then the '90s

In the '90s electron tube technology had been around for about 80 years. Supplies of tubes in the states began to dwindle, so Penta began to partner with manufacturers in China, Czechoslovakia, and Yugoslavia. We began stocking over 6,000 different types of electron tubes. And of course, created a new catalog for all of those new parts.


In the '90s Penta also developed it's own newsletter. This was the '90s, so everything was distributed in print (remember those days?). Now, you can see those newsletters in digital form on our website at: http://www.pentalabs.com/tube_talk.html
