It's scary how the sock of NOS is running low. Tubes that used to be readily available just a few yours ago seem to be running low. Take the 6K11 for example, not too long ago it was around $8, the price has crept up to $30-$35. Lower prices can be found but the trend is less stock available and the prices higher. Substitutes are available that are more affordable.
I was recently looking for a tightly matched quad of NOS 7027A's. Pairs are a lot easier to source these days. I might need to modify my V4B bias circuit so that I can bias each pair separately. Fortunately the JJ's are available for those that want new production.
It makes you wonder where things will be in ten years.
