Yes indeed. I wonder what the availability and useful life of the 6L6
or 807 types were? They were ubiquitous in 1953 when I began, and they
continued well into the 70's before power semiconductors came on the
scene. Excluding the NE555 which seems to have an infinite lifetime, if
a semiconductor component stays alive in the supply chain for 5 years,
it's a long-hauler. 😉

Elecraft has a very significant investment in those data [often

More to the point, the reason Elecraft has stopped building certain
products is that key components are no longer available.
