I've been pricing tubes on my model 65. Most are $5-10, but the 45's that this set uses for audio amplification are a lot more expensive than the others. Why is this, and is there a substitute for these?

Not sure if I'll need them yet, but I'm trying to get a bandwidth on the rebuild cost for this guy.

Thanks.
