Ok thanks everyone for their input ... I was under the impression that
the MLA-2500 was a well built amp, and easily modifiable to use less
expensive available tubes.
I'll do some further research.

anyone here give me any reccomendations ... etc, what to look for?
Also ay good Dentron sites?

As that amp has not been made in many years and not that many were sold I
would stay away from it mainly due to the tubes. Find an amp that uses some
common tubes that are sold at a more reasonable price.

I would not say it is easy , but I seem to remember that in a 73 Magazine
(maybe QST) there was an artical to modify it for one of the single Russian
power tubes. Doubt that I would go to that much trouble as there are many
of the Heathkit and other amps around that use a pair of the much more
rugged
4-400 and 3-500 type tubes.
