Thirty year old technology--wasn't it amazing? Hello, John What will be interesting is when someone goes to replace a smaller tube (say a regulator) in one of the things. We expect to pay $100 or so for the big ones; wait until they find out the small stuff now can cost $20 or *far* more these days. Only 10 years ago, I could get a 12AX7 for perhaps $6.00. Now, I have to special order them and the small tubes such as that, if *new* and not pullouts, run $20 to $30 a piece! 30 year old technocracy? It *is* amazing. Amazingly expensive LOL 73 from Rochester, NY Jim |

Yes, all new projects here are with russian tubes... and you can't
afford to buy them through american distributors, they have about a 500%-1000% markup!!! I think you can make contact though an address on that page I gave you and probably buy the tubes direct... even with shipping a real deal... luckily I have a contact though a friend...
