Thanks a lot for the helpful posts to my question, but the perception among all of you is that I'm limiting my search for a useful replacement to the RCA NOS variety. Nothing could be more inaccurate. Yes, indeed, I'd love to find that the Sovtek tube that Frihed89 likes would tickle my fancy too. But, alas, my own experiences with most Russian and Chinese tubes has been a little disappointing.My experiences tell me that what I would really like to find (at a reasonable price) is another pair of the Sylvania tubes just like the ones that had led a reasonably long life, and produced a sound that was maybe just a mark or two off the 100% ideal. Being an old guy who's really happy with everything (my wife is all I could hope for, my modest -- by comparison -- audio system is too), I admit to be pretty much set in my ways. I'll get a pair of these Sovteks just to satisfy curiosity, and hope for the best. Thanks too to the inmate who emailed me and volunteered to let me have a pair out of his harem. I'll be contacting him anon.
