stephen	Re: Damn, not enough B+ Yep....much the same here. I buy my tubes in three currencies - US dollars, Kiwi dollars..and Steinies. For US sources of tubes and parts specific to guitar amps, I guess you know about Mojo Antique Electronic, and Triodeel.com. There are some Oz and NZ NOS tube sources ...but our US friends have so much choice already, I don't think we need to tell them about those....( anyway, not while we're still getting British GZ34's for $20 BTW... your ex-tv tranny would probably be perfect for a 2x6V6 amp - or depending on its current rating, maybe a 4x6V6 amp. Russian 6V6's are cheap, and there's a good chance they would be reliable on that B+, less a bit for cathode resistor drop.
