Allnic 1201 replacement tubes?

Hello all ...I have an Allnic 1201 phonostage and I think the Mullard E180CC’s are nearing the end . Should I pick up the same NOS Mullards are there alternatives where I won’t lose performance? 
Also they seem difficult to pull . Like they are loose at bottom and will just rip apart but I might be overthinking it..? Thanks

FWIW, the puller in quesrion looks like an enlarged staple puller and works the same way. Did you ask Albert about the give away tubes? Enjoy the music

Yes the 1201 has the gell sockets as do the other Allnic phono stages and you should use the puller provided by Allnic to remove the tubes. Also note that when Allnic introduced the 1202 they offered everyone who owned the 1201 a new set of replacement tubes just for the asking, you just had to reference the serisl # of your unit and did not need to be the original purchaser, might behoove you to reach out to a dealer.
