Might be a good set to try putting all globe tubes in, as there are only five of them. Only pricey one will be the 47 tube.

The 47s aren't as bad for price as the 80s are at the moment, too many audiophools think that a globe type 80 will make their amp sound better. But then again they think tube rectifiers in general make their amp sound better then a silicon one, including mercury vapor ones for some reason.
