One seller (0 feedback, newly registered) is selling a late model
(11/1991) 7-06M, same type as the one in my blog, for $110 Buy It Now
+ $80 shipping. I purchased a 44-tube Elektronika (the in-between
size) from him the other day. So I can't vouch for his reliability yet
as he is just shipping the clock today. His new listing is item
130721977083.

Even if this was one of the last ones made, it still has 20 years of
use on it and could benefit from many of the things I listed on my
blog as part of the restoration work I performed. You might want to
also get a single NOS IV-26 and a 3 clip leads, and jumper the 2
filament pins from an installed tube to the new tube, and any one of
the anode pins the same. That will let you compare old tubes to a new
tube, side-by-side, to help you decide if a complete swap is in order.
If you care about dim mode, check it as well because tubes that seem
acceptable in bright mode can have dots that barely light in dim mode.

For folks in the NYC area, I might be able to guide / assist you if
you do a restoration, or I could do the whole checkout and restoration
for a smallish fee. Otherwise, feel free to ask questions / post
comments on my blog entry and I'll respond there.
