I made my living off it for several decades. A 6GH8A retailed for

I wonder about availability now, perhaps Russian or Chinese suppliers? O_o


NOS tubes are readily available. It looks like I have 20 NOS 6GH8A
left in my stash: http://home.earthlink.net/~mike.terrell/Eptub.html


Visit news:rec.antiques.radio+phono if you need old parts. Lots of
tube radio collectors can point you to what you need. There is a Yahoo
antique radio group, as well.
