Of all the good luck I could have, this company is LOCAL! http://www.worldtubecompany.com
Although, the address seems to be the guy's house.. a home office business. Not an actual store front. But that makes sense. There can't be much money in old vacuum tubes.
His website offers free tube testing. Normally you have to mail the tubes to him for test... but since he's a mile and a half away from me.... I could just drop by and have test the tubes while I wait. He also says on his site he sells tubes so perhaps he'll have a reasonable price on his tubes if they check out bad.I sent him an email... so I'll see if he replies in a few days. If not, I'll give him a call on Monday.
