CJ PV-14L replacement tubes


hi - I need some suggestions for replacement tubes for my CJ PV-14L.
not sure how much CJ will charge me and if I can get better tubes than standard.
Also, can anyone say if this is a straightforward job - haven't had the cover off yet. I assume the tubes can be simply pulled and replaced.
Thanks.

All I could find on the tubes used in the CJ 14L preamp are that it has 2 valves. V1 and V2 and both are 8080s. I can't say that I have much familiarity with 8080s so I will leave it for those that do. I think I also read that these are called 6C4s. Good luck my only comment is that factory tubes are very very expensive and I personally can't see the difference between buying from a knowledgeable and careful dealer who screens out bad tubes and the factory.
