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? |
