Source For 6DJ8 etc

I just remembered I have a contact in Australia, you live in NZ, right? Here is Glenns web site, http://www.ozemail.com.au/~impulse/e_tubes.htm I just purchased tubes from him a short while back, and although I do not know Glenn nearly as well as the others I have suggested here, his shipment of tubes were exactly as described. Possible interest to you, his prices are in Australian $, and perhaps there is less (or no) duty to NZ? Could be worth checking. Best again!

Be VERY careful about buying "Bugleboy" 6DJ8s. Richardson Electronics bought the name several years ago and sells current production tubes (yuck) with the Bugleboy logo and name. Do not buy any Bugleboys that are not GUARANTEED to be Amperex from the 50s or 60s.

Dkuipers is right, that's why it's so important to deal with someone who knows what the real things are. Many thanks to Rayhall and Albert for the additional sources for my tube-buying habit. And Redkiwi, Andy has been able to supply me with some beautiful, quiet Bugle Boys, vintage about 1966, in the past which lasted several years in my Jadis' phono stage (a phono stage which eats lesser tubes up within about six months). Not sure if he has any now, as he has me on his list if he comes across any more of them.
