My "local source" is Moyers Electronics, surely is not predatory as some of these tube sellers are, try them for any RCA part number within reason, that is to say: they are out of many common flybacks, yokes and CRT's. The Pottsville store has every cable or jack Ill ever need, tools galore.
Moyers in Sunbury has many surprises like a NOS $25 output transformer for an RCA RS177 PP 6BQ5 amp. Try finding THAT deal on the internet. Every Sams set, IF trans, or vertical blocking transformer I have ever needed was found as a Merit or Ram, many other coils etc that you might otherwise not find. |
There used to be two places like that here, a RCA distributor, and a electronics salvage warehouse that had just about everything at decent prices, both long gone.
The point I was making, before this vintage audio craze fired up and all these people seemed to jump on the tube amp bandwagon, there was no 12AX7s being sold for $300-$600, and so on, and you could find horizontal output tubes at decent prices, not hundreds of dollars, for NOS ones, this is nuts, if one had a DeLorean, you could go back 20 years or so and fill it tubes and come back and make millions!
