<p><br>Tubes are still readily available primarily through specialty suppliers
for individuals involved with vintage electronics restoration, (i.e. antique
televisions and radios). These guys either hoarded collections of
them when companies were liquidated or purchased the tooling and machinery
to make new ones themselves on a limited scale. There are also a
number of very popular tubes available today for modern tube amp applications,
(i.e. the ever popular 12XA7 pre amp tube, 6AU6 damper tube, and the 2X4
rectifier tube). I've also seen some listed on e-bay.
