I'd guess in the neighborhood of $600 to 1200. When 029s or 129s 
appear on eBay or for sale elsewhere, they sell for roughly US $400 
to 800 depending on condition. I've never seen a 26 offered for sale, 
but if it's in good condition it should fetch a better price than the 
newer models. x29's are still in use today but 26's are real museum 
pieces.  

Call Salt Lake Instrument Service in Salt Lake City, UT for tubes. If 
anyone has them, he will.  Better stock up now, I don't know how much 
longer before he retires.
