Not enough demand.
I'd love to see a 'modern' tube production facility. Some of the machines and tooling currently in use is probably 40 years old, or older.
Bet that a facility of totally modern design and totally automated could cut costs by a bunch, crank out great quality and make 100 years worth of tubes in about 4 months.
