Some pics of the LG tube (Shuguang) factory in China

Postby michael_dba » 31 Mar 2012, 14:35

A seller on Ebay posted some pics of the LG factory where they make Shuguang tubes, apparently.

Most of the pics look like they could have been from back in the 50's...old school technology...the rest show more modern assembly areas.

A lot of work go into making tubes, when corners are cut the the tubes become subpar. I always thought the tubes coming from that factory were very good quality.

I am so tempted to buy a quad of those Shuguang Treasure Series KT66-Z for my VM but not sure they would be worth the extra money.

Thanks for posting that, I always had a visual in my head of what this place looked like.
