There are several web sites selling vacuum tubes.  I have
had consistently good service from Dexter Francis at Cwest
<Cwest@xmission.com>.  He generally has what I need at a very good
price, and will hunt for what he doesn't have.  I believe that he
is on the lookout for old tubes, so please give him a try.  There
are some other buyers if he is not interested.
