Hey, can I be a devil's advocate here? Isn't part of the reason we do this (to borrow a phrase from JFK) "not because it is easy, but because it is hard"? Who among us hasn't spent hours and hours refinishing, repairing, fabricating a part that at one time could have been easily purchased new for a couple of dollars? Easier still than replacing 6SN7s: buy a new POS Chinese TV. Just kidding! (says the guy with sets full of loktals, octals and mouse nests.)
