Tube Depot, Viva Tubes, The Tube Store. Between these 3 providers, the tubes needed should be available. If it’s some odd tube, like ones yours truly recently needed, an order was placed to a man from the Ukraine on that auction site.

why buy new tubes? many, most last 10,000 hrs. I just had my McIntosh mx110z tube tuner/preamp overhauled by Audio Classics. All 17 vintage tubes tested good, he left them all in. You don’t know about the tubes that came in it right? I advise tube users to buy a simple tube tester, which gives you knowledge, confidence, and, when trouble occurs, quickly find or rule out the tubes as the problems, as well as test what you buy, see how matched they are. My little tester always agrees with my big heavy one, I don’t bother with the big tester https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2505460.m570.l1313&_nkw=tube+tester&_... You need to verify it has sockets for your tube types, and have the manual/chart/tube book to know the settings https://www.ebay.com/itm/144072538321?hash=item218b6478d1:g:534AAOSwSYBgw6jt like mine: https://www.ebay.com/itm/224471092083?hash=item3443850b73:g:vPsAAOSw71Vgqada don't let the rusty hinges scare you, they used poor quality metal to keep costs down. |
