QRS "Redtop" Radio Vacuum Tubes

Troy is looking for some tubes for his radio.  Troy, I believe you
should have at least one "type 80" tube for your radio (unless it's
battery operated); that's the rectifier tube, used pretty much until
the end of tubes (although tubes are making a minor come-back amongst
audiophiles, so they never "ended").

Good luck in your search; QRS were never a "major player" so Redtop
tubes aren't common today.
