Hi,

AES wants this much money for one! Your proposed substitute is the most commonly available of the sweep tubes. This model wasn't as heavily used due to being a late design sweep tube and not having been used in Amateur Radio Gear. Many Amateur Radio gear used sweep tubes in the 1960's and 1970's which has made some types expensive and hard to source.
