Telefunken 12AX7 are very expensive today, especially NOS.
Any 12AX7 or ECC83 that is original production from any major old tube house comands a hefty TTNP.
Today's productive from Russia is considered very good. Still the original Telefunkens are the most desirable type.
I just bought a bunch of Sovteks from various lines (Genalex, Sovtek, ECC803) plus a couple of original Mullards from Jim McShane. Prices are good but still $35-45 apiece is no cheap.
I intend to write about my experience rolling the tubes in my McIntosh C22, I published it on AK forum.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
