There is a tube store in Tempe Arizona that has fair prices on new old stock tubes, I think it is called radio restoration or something close - before you chase good money for new why not buy another mobile radio at a swap-n-shop? Or dig into a 2way shop's castaway pile to see what you can discover for a fruit basket and donuts?
