Just spoke to WE -- hope to have the production run shipping on/about 09/01/18. They are currently constructing work on an expansion -- nothing too elaborate, but necessary to meet increased demands.
$1,299 is the target price of the Matched pair run. Matched pairs come in a cherry red wooden box, 5 year warranty, test report, and identical 300B as was manufactured in 1938 & in time for their 80th Anniversary.
WE sent me their link regarding the 300B RETURN and at the bottom is a option to sign yourself up to be on their mailing list and to indicate you're interested in receiving WE 300B tubes from the September '18 run. In this link is a youtube video on the facility and also mentions some new limited edition amps they plan to build. Cool Beans.

As of this post, they are sole USA distributor.
Best Sirs,
Bob
