Yes, it's unreal what they want for those tubes. I guess you can blame the ham radio community for that, as these tubes are used in RF amplifiers. I was flipping through the current AES catalog the other day and I believe they wanted $75 for a 20LF6! I believe that's the HOT that was used in the Zenith 4-tube hybrid's. I thought only the 6 volt tubes were the only really "hot" ones for ham radio use. I wonder what this 20LF6 is used in to create such a demand to drive the price up that much. If I ever find one of those Zenith hybrid's, I hope the HOT is good because at $75, I may just have to let it die. Maybe one day they'll start making sweep tubes again like they did audio tubes.
