BAT VK-60 tubes

I have an older VK-60,"C" boards, with original working output tubes. Any ideas on where to get new 6C33 tubes?
A couple years ago, BAT said go to dealer. Dealer only had used tubes. Upscale Audio sent me 2 tubes, both defective, although they had supposedly been tested. Any ideas on retubing?

Has anyone here tried using Mullard ECC-34's as a pre-driver tube in the BAT VK-60? Chris Kipp at the Audio Gallery in Sacremento told me that this was THE tube to use.

As stated in my earlier post, I have heard that using the ST style, large plate Mullard ECC-34 is the hot replacement for the 6SN7 in the BAT VK-60. The Mullard ECC-34 provides better dynamics, better mid-range, & more natural presence. I was just wondering if these were what you had bought. Thanks!
