They may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I thought I'd start a header to post it's sales E flyers.

Good to have resources.When I get around to my Heathkit AA-100, it will need a 5AR4 instead of the (wrong) 5U4 I plugged in when you could not buy 5AR4s.

If you guys are buying matched output tubes, AES sells Apex matched tubes about 10% cheaper than these guys do. I'm not familiar with the method of matching they use. These guys offer matched sextets of 6V6's, necessary if you are doing a Concert Grand.
A good leader is someone who can tell you where to go, and make you look forward to the trip.

Never allow someone who has done nothing to advise you on anything.
