The tubes are slowly rolling in...

Two Raytheon 6AQ8/ECC85 (made in Japan), one Siemens ECH81/6AJ8 (Germany - not pictured), one Sovtek 5AR4/GZ34 (Russia) and four 6П14П (Soviet Union). Still waiting for a 6AU6 from California.
Unfortunately, one of the 6П14П tubes did not survive shipment - it isn't broken, but the filament is intermittent. When I put it on my tube tester's Line Test, I can watch the needle go back and forth as the filament goes on and off. I've contacted the seller and hope to receive a replacement.
In the meantime...Greg, you will be glad to know that I purchased four 6П14П-EB tubes from the seller you receommended, in Ukraine. I did so in case the 6П14П tubes I now have do not work out for some reason, although three of the four tested quite strong and I think the seller will probably give me another with no hassles.
Now...I have to get my electrolytic info together and contact Hayseed Hamfest for a quote on three twist-lock electrolytic cans.
