AES sells 6BK4C's new for $40. Granted, they do have the same tube used for $5. But, this is one of those tubes that is hard to test without simply putting it in a TV.

They're hard to find in the sense that I don't have any, and have't found any locally or at hamfests. I'm a little reluctant to buy parts if I don't have to, and while digging I found a new 6EA4.

So, I figured it was worth a shot.
