Higher quality? Just because they use tubes? TAS lifetime subscriber?
But - to answer your question - you could build a tube type repeater -
it's your time to spend as you wish.
Your best bet would be to search hamfests or go to the Dayton
Hamvention and try to find a copy of the "Radio Amateur's F-M Repeater
Handbook" by Ken W. Sessions, c.1969, and any other period literature
you can find. Once upon a time hams did make repeaters out of the tube
type stuff when it was plentiful on the surplus market in the 1960's.
You might also check with your local two-way radio shops - it's just
possible they may have an old tube type repeater sitting around that
hasn't made it to the landfill yet. If not that - they might have
some old manuals for tube type repeaters.
