I picked up most of my NOS from old, dilapidated TV repair shops and the like in the early '90s. Some came from purchases through AudioMart, Some through Andy Bowman (at the time, just a local character that had great tube hunting skills).Yes, old stock was more available then but a person had to be "in the know" to be looking for (foraging really) and finding the good stuff.
These are the best of times IMHO. There are cheap, reliable tubes that don't blow up in your amp from Russia and China these days. Adjusted for inflation, these new production tubes are cheaper than the drugstore variety that one purchased for the color telly in the late 60's!
