Dear Customer,  

we have been hosting the AVVT website, and were their worldwide distributer  from 1998 until 2002. 

I never recieved any official message from AVVT or Mr. Vaic about what  happended with the company or himself.  Registered mail comes back as non-receivable,  email addresses and phone is not working.   So I can only  speculate  about what happened. 

From what I have heard,  AVVT tubes are not made any more, and the old factory was cleared by the owner to restore the building.  So, we  have stored our  remaining   stock  in the hall of NOS.   There is still  a small stock of most  types, but this stock is getting  low really quick now,  since collectors are purchasing them.  Some types are already not available any more. 

Once they're only availbale as NOS,  I am sure some  types will be more expensive as when they were new.  That's the way things are with NOS tubes.  

Remember, only AVVT had a real, full size mesh WIRE  plate.   No other company ever made that, also not Fullmusic or EML.   The first series were excellent.   The series from 1999..2000 were less good.   The series after that were very good again.    Unfortunally that improvement came too late for AVVT.  All mesh stock I have is from the end of 2001,  and it is near-peffect.  You get those with one year / 2000 hours guarantee from my company.  

If you want to have some AVVT's,  don't wait  to long.   They're for sale at the normal, original prices - no cheap sell off, and there won't be any.    I am pretty sure, that once my AVVT mesh stock runs out, prices of those as NOS versions will go up. 

Please check on the official price list at http://www.jacmusic.com for details on  availability of the AVVT NOS tubes.
