Do you have a good tube source, Frank?

Depends on what kind of tube you are looking for. The station gets
their big tubes directly from the manufacturer. For standard
consumer tubes, I don't like buying them mail-order because they
cost too much, and many times are used (low emission) and the pins
are just buffed up to make them look new. I highly recommend
getting a tube tester and start hoarding them from wherever you can
find them, usually at garage sales and thrift shops. A couple
months ago I went to a yard sale and got an old reel-2-reel that
they just gave away because it was old and ugly. Inside were a
half-dozen Telefunken 12AX7s and several other goodies. The tubes
are out there, you just have to know how they are packaged.

Good advice. Lucky for me I have two friends who do just that, but
you never know when you'll need to find another supply.

These guys are a real trip. If you ever need something, let me know
and I'll see.

How about a 100W ultra-linear output transformer (Acrosound TO-350 or
equivalent)?

Is that a tube?

No, it's a transformer, but it's for a tube amplifier.

Ok. I'll see one of them Friday, I should ask for a Acrosound TO-350 or
equivalent?

Right-o! If I can't find one I'll have to wind one myself, a project which I
don't think I will enjoy too much.
