As far as I know, the U-Tube machine will be transferred back to its original owner from before Joseph Stalin swept into East Germany and stole it by act of war : in other words, back to Osram! There are some plans that Osram will continue supply of certain products.

I'd heard Osram will be supplying tubes to Narva UK as they're supplying me some this coming week.

Sad to hear. :(
I had hoped that Narva tubes - particularly the coloured ones - would eventually make it here to the US

What about those American LET 100w 8 foots that I got hold of from a factory who had "upgraded" their lighting. Wouldn't they be better off importing?
